Round Akari pendant light
The Akari A pendant light is one of the Akari light sculptures by Isamu Noguchi. The delicate luminaire with its soft light is made of fine shoji paper. In keeping with the design, the name Akari is the Japanese expression for brightness and light, which also includes lightness.
From 1951, the American-Japanese artist and designer Isamu Noguchi designed the Akari Light Sculptures, a total of over 100 models handmade from shoji paper, as table, floor or ceiling lamps.
"The light of an Akari shines like the light of the sun filtered through shoji paper. The magic of the paper transforms the cool electricity back into the eternal light of the sun. So that its warmth can continue to fill our rooms at night." (Isamu Noguchi)
