Table lamp Akari 3A

❤️ YOUR GIFT ❤️ Vitra Toolbox with a Vitra purchase >500 CHF

In Japan, paper lamps and lanterns have a very long history. They come in an almost endless variety of different aesthetics.

In the 50's the American-Japanese artist and versatile designer Isamu Noguchi was occupied with this theme, and as a result he designed the lamps 'Akari Light Sculptures'. A total of over 100 hand-made models made of the highest quality Shoji paper, as table, floor or ceiling lamps. He chose the word 'akari', the Japanese expression for 'brightness' and 'light', which also means lightness. For him, paper transforms cool electricity back into warm sunlight.

The table lamp Akari 3A is a three-legged simple model, which can also be used wonderfully as a small floor lamp, for example next to the bed or a stack books. Her modest form fits wonderfully uncomplicated into different interiors and does what she does best - a magical lighting atmosphere.
