AKARI 55D Pendant

HK$2,080Brand new

Available now

Noguchi called his AKARI light sculptures rather than lamps, and the 55D shows why. Its bamboo ribbing is set in a loose, organic rhythm under hand-laid washi, so the light comes through soft and a little uneven, like paper held up to the sun. At 55 cm across it's generous enough to anchor a dining table or warm up a bare corner.

The story

Isamu Noguchi & AKARI

Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was a Japanese-American sculptor who treated light as another material to shape. In 1951 he visited Gifu, a town known for its paper lanterns, and began the AKARI series: washi paper over bamboo ribbing, named with the Japanese word for light, brightness and lightness. More than seventy years on, each shade is still made by hand by Ozeki & Co. in Gifu, stretched over wooden forms Noguchi designed.
