Floor lamp Akari 14A

'The magic of paper transforms cool electricity back into the eternal light of the sun.'

This quote and the general work of the American-Japanese artist Isamu Noguchi are exceptionally complex. His interest was not only in material and form, but also in spatial impact, and was intended to serve a practical as well as social function. Noguchi's sculptural style exerted a lasting influence on the formal language of organic design in the 1950s. In 1951, for example, the designer created the 'Akari Light Sculptures' - sculptures of luminous weightlessness. The Japanese word akari means brightness and light, but also lightness.

Each lamp is elaborately and devotedly handmade in Japan from washi paper. The Akari 14A floor lamp measures about one and a half meters and has a narrow shape with an oval bulge. Thus, it provides pleasant, warm light in the living room and bedroom, creating a real feel-good atmosphere.
