In Japan, paper lamps and lanterns have a very long history. They exist in an almost endless variety of different aesthetics.
In the 1950s, the American-Japanese artist and versatile designer Isamu Noguchi explored this theme and designed the 'Akari Light Sculptures' lamps as a result. A total of over 100 models handmade from the highest quality shoji paper as table, floor or ceiling lamps. As a name he chose the word 'akari', the Japanese expression for 'brightness' and 'light', which also includes lightness. For him, the paper transforms the cool electricity back into warm sunlight.
This 'akari' looks like a big moon that has risen in the middle of my bedroom.
