Floor lamp Akari 25N

In Japan, paper lamps and lanterns have a very long history. They exist in an almost endless variety of different aesthetics.

In the 1950s, the American-Japanese artist and versatile designer Isamu Noguchi explored this theme and designed the 'Akari Light Sculptures' lamps as a result. A total of over 100 models handmade from the highest quality shoji paper as table, floor or ceiling lamps. As a name he chose the word 'akari', the Japanese expression for 'brightness' and 'light', which also includes lightness. For him, the paper transforms the cool electricity back into warm sunlight.

This 'akari' is a tower of three circles placed on top of each other. Even when switched off, this model reveals its magic and object-like character.

The tower rests on four thin legs and is a sympathetic light maker. Thus, the floor lamp makes a good figure in the bedroom or even in the living room.
