In 1951 the Japanese-born American artist Isamu Noguchi designed the Akari Light Sculptures, a series of works handmade with washi paper including over 100 table, floor and ceiling lamps. The artist named these works “akari”, a Japanese word similar to the English word “light”, that recalls the concepts of brightness and lightness. The Akari Light Sculptures (1951) by Isamu Noguchi are a series of lamps handcrafted from traditional washi paper by Japanese craftsmen. “Through the magic of paper, the hardness of electricity is transformed back into the light of our origin: the sun” (Noguchi).

The body of the lamps is made of bamboo and steel wire. Supports in painted steel wire.
