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 60W E27/230V bulb (not included).
Our Stylist Says
I love this pendant light for its versatile and understated style. Its soft, neutral tone makes it a great fit for both modern and cosy interiors, working well in living rooms, kitchens, or even bedrooms. The paper-like material diffuses light gently, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. To style it effectively, consider hanging it at varying heights in a cluster for a contemporary look, or keep it alone for a minimalist aesthetic. Pair with other natural textures like wood or linen to enhance its simple elegance, and it works particularly well in spaces aiming for a relaxed, Scandinavian feel.
