Paper lamps and lanterns have a very long history in Japan. They come 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 washi paper as table, floor or ceiling lamps. He chose the word 'akari' as the name, the Japanese term for 'brightness' and 'light', which also includes lightness. For him, the paper transforms the cool electricity back into warm sunlight.
