Akari 9ad

The Akari 9ad table lamp is a stunning addition to any modern interior design scheme. Designed by the renowned Isamu Noguchi, this lamp is part of the Akari light sculptures collection, a series of luminaires handmade from traditional washi paper by skilled Japanese artisans. Noguchi’s designs are known for their timeless elegance and innovative use of materials, and the Akari 9ad is no exception.

Crafted from Japanese paper and steel, this table lamp exudes a sense of lightness and luminosity that is sure to enhance any space. The name ‘akari’ means ‘light’ in Japanese, reflecting the lamp’s illuminating qualities and physical lightness. Noguchi’s inspiration for the Akari Light Sculptures came from a visit to Gifu, a town known for its paper parasols and lanterns. With over 100 models in the series, the Akari 9ad is a true masterpiece of modern design.

Each Akari Light Sculpture is meticulously handcrafted in the Ozeki studio in Gifu, using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. The lampshade is made from washi paper, sourced from the bark of the mulberry tree, and carefully applied to a bamboo ribbing structure. The result is a beautifully crafted piece that is both functional and visually striking.

Whether placed on a bedside table, desk, or side table, the Akari 9ad table lamp will add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room. Its minimalist design and soft, diffused light make it the perfect accent piece for those who appreciate beautiful and thoughtfully designed products.
