Akari 1AY Table Lantern, φ26×H43cm
What makes this special edition truly captivating is the moment it’s lit — the space is enveloped in a gentle orange glow, as if holding a private sunset within. The soft radiance brings a sense of warmth and serenity that goes far beyond the function of lighting itself.
The Akari lights are handcrafted of bamboo ribbing and translucent washi paper that is made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree. Isamu Noguchi has compared the light of Akari to sunlight filtered through traditional shōji paper doors – the light sculptures create a warm glow and pleasant ambience. According to Noguchi, "All that you require to start a home are a room, a tatami, and Akari.”
