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 dealt with this topic and designed the 'Akari Light Sculptures' 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.
The 'Akari UF4-L10' seems like a small tower of staggered cuboids stacked on top of each other. Even when switched off, this model reveals its magic and object-like character.
The tower rests on four thin legs and is of considerable height. Thus, the floor lamp makes a good figure in the bedroom or even in the living room.
