Description
Designed in the 1950s by Isamu Noguchi, the Akari paper lamp series is considered an icon of mid-century design. Handmade for over 50 years by the original manufacturer in Gifu, Japan, each lamp blends Japanese craftsmanship with elegant contemporary design. The lamps are created from handmade Shoji paper and bamboo ribbing, supported by a metal frame. Each lamp is stamped with Noguchi's signature. The Akari lights take one maximum 75W E27/230V bulb (not included).
Our Stylist Says
The Akari 45X pendant adds a soft, sculptural presence to a variety of interiors, making it a versatile choice for both modern and mid-century spaces. I love how its understated design pairs well with minimalist schemes, while also bringing warmth and texture to eclectic or layered environments. Practical styling tips include hanging it at different heights over dining tables or kitchen islands to create focal points, or grouping multiples in a stairwell or high-ceilinged room for visual interest. Its neutral tone and simple shape mean it works equally well with colour-rich decor or monochrome schemes, offering a subtle yet impactful lighting solution.
