Price History
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
I love how the Akari 70EN pendant adds a touch of understated elegance to a space, with its soft, diffused light and natural paper-voiced shade. It works particularly well in both contemporary and Scandi-style interiors, where its minimal form complements clean lines and neutral palettes. For practical styling, consider hanging it over dining tables or in living rooms to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It also pairs beautifully with other natural materials like wood and linen, so placing it within layered, relaxed schemes helps it stand out. When positioning, ensure it’s hung at an appropriate height to maximise its cosy glow without obstructing the view or movement beneath.
