Description

AKARI w/ ISAMU NOGUCHI Light Lamp Shade Washi "Stand Light 1AD FULL SET"

"AKARI" is a light sculpture made of Japanese paper and bamboo designed by Isamu Noguchi. Stand Light 1AD is a small stand lamp that can be used on the bedside or on the side table. The soft light shining through Japanese paper blends into both Japanese and Western spaces.

This series features 3 or 4 thin iron wire legs, designed to make the whole as light as possible.

All AKARI are carefully produced one by one by skilled craftsmen.

1A is a more standard standard model, and the initial "A" of AKARI is used.

It is a type of 1A abstract pattern that has been produced since the 1950s.

"1AD" is a model that was also favored by Isamu Kenmochi, who drove Japanese modern design.

In Japan at that time, white lanterns had a strong image as a funeral.

Since it was not accepted, the type with an abstract pattern was designed.

It seems that white modern lighting fixtures became popular overseas soon.

Even now, it seems that overseas people tend to prefer plain simple items.

By using it in a Western-style room as well as a Japanese-style room, a modern impression is further accentuated.

Also, it matches the interior of the Nordic system.

About Isamu Noguchi:

Born from the encounter between Isamu Noguchi and Gifu Lantern

"AKARI", a light sculpture consisting of Japanese paper and bamboo

The lighting sculpture named "AKARI" was created in 1952 from the encounter between Isamu Noguchi and Gifu lanterns, a traditional Gifu prefecture industry.

The nature of Japanese paper that softly diffuses light and the rough and irregular stretching of bamboo skeleton, which is a framework, leaves the shrinkage and wrinkles of Washi paper as it is, not only as a fixture for lighting, but as a sculpture of light. It was established. The production attitude that sticks to the nature of the material is what is seen in traditional Japanese crafts, and the lightness and fragility of "AKARI" is also based on the aesthetic sense of ancient Japan.

This work by Isamu Noguchi was immediately noticed around the world for beautifully recreating the beautiful crafts unique to Japan to the present age. Widely used in homes and offices.
