Price History
Description
Charming and delicate, the Akari 26. A Pendant Light by Isamu Noguchi for Vitra is a beautiful blurring of the boundaries between great sculpture and organic furniture design. Blending Japanese craftsmanship with elegant contemporary forms, the light is handcrafted by artisans at the traditional, family-run Ozeki workshop in Gifu, Japan using washi paper and steel wire. Each characterful light boasts a stamp of Noguchi's signature as a sign of authenticity. Named 'Akari' after the Japanese name for light, Noguchi's Akari Light Sculptures reflect the Japanese-American's belief that everything is sculpture. Requires: 1x max. 40W E27 230V bulb (not included).
Our Stylist Says
I love the Akari 26A for its minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired design, which makes it a versatile choice for a variety of interiors. Its soft, diffused light works well in living rooms, bedrooms or even cosy reading nooks, adding warmth without overwhelming the space. Practical styling tips include hanging it over a dining table or in a kitchen to create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. For a cohesive look, try pairing it with natural materials like wood or linen, and keep surrounding decor simple to let the pendant’s subtle elegance shine through. It’s an understated piece that suits both contemporary and more pared-back traditional interiors.
