Akari Model 22N Light Sculpture by Isamu Noguchi

Creator: Isamu Noguchi
Offered by: Two Enlighten Los Angeles, LLC

Description
Akari model 22N light sculpture by Isamu Noguchi. The shade is made from handmade washi paper and bamboo ribs with Noguchi Akari manufacturer's stamp.

Akari light sculptures by Isamu Noguchi are considered icons of 1950s modern design. Designed by Noguchi in the 1950s, this vintage example is from a later circa 2000s production run that was still largely handmade by Ozeki, the original manufacturer in Gifu, Japan and bears the Noguchi stamp of authenticity.
