The Akari 14A is part of Isamu Noguchi’s iconic Akari Light Sculptures, designed in the 1950s as a modern reinterpretation of traditional Japanese lanterns. Handcrafted in Gifu, Japan, it is made from washi paper and bamboo ribbing, supported by a simple metal frame, which allows the lamp to diffuse light softly and warmly. The "14A" model has a rounded, organic form that emphasizes Noguchi’s vision of light as sculpture, blending art, design, and craft. Like all Akari lamps, it is collapsible, lightweight, and reflects Noguchi’s belief in creating objects that bring harmony between nature and modern living.
