SPECIAL VINTAGE PIECE

This Early Akari Light Sculpture, model 1A, designed in 1954 by the celebrated Japanese-American artist and designer, Isamu Noguchi. Crafted with Washi paper, bamboo, and painted steel, this floor-standing light sculpture epitomises Noguchi's innovative approach to melding traditional Japanese materials with modern design principles.

Known for his sculptural work and groundbreaking designs, Noguchi's Akari series has become iconic in the world of lighting. The use of Washi paper allows for a soft, diffused light that creates a serene ambiance in any space. This particular model, part of Stefan Lindher's distinguished collection, stands as a testament to Noguchi's mastery of form and function.
