Let Your Space Whisper with Light💡 

There’s something quietly powerful about a piece that doesn’t shout for attention—but holds it completely. This isn’t just lighting. This is presence. The kind that turns a corner into a statement, a room into a retreat, and a house into a home you don’t want to leave.

Carefully designed to feel both featherlight and grounded, this sculptural lamp creates an atmosphere that slows down your pace and softens your world—without asking for anything in return. You don’t turn it on. You invite it in.

The story of this light begins not with a bulb, but with a vision. In 1951, Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi visited the town of Gifu, Japan—famous for its washi paper and bamboo craftsmanship. What he found there sparked a revolution in design: the merging of ancient technique with modernist purity.

He imagined a lamp that could breathe. One that filtered light like sunlight through shoji screens. And so, the Akari light sculptures were born—not mass-produced fixtures, but hand-crafted icons that have stood the test of time.

For over 70 years, these pieces have been meticulously handmade in Gifu by the same workshop, keeping Noguchi’s poetic vision alive in every rib, fold, and glow.

A well-lit space does more than help you see. It helps you feel. Imagine coming home and being greeted not by glare, but by a warm, ambient glow that gently wraps around your evening.

Place this lamp on a central table to add an artful accent to your living room, or style it next to a lounge chair to create a calming reading nook. In bedrooms, it makes a subtle, dreamlike companion that eases you into rest. Pair it with textures like linen, wood, or muted tones to create a cocoon of serenity.

Good lighting doesn’t compete—it complements. And when it’s done right, you’ll feel the difference before you even realise what changed.

Each lamp is made from handmade washi paper, delicately supported by bamboo ribbing and a discreet metal frame. The materials are light, but their impact is lasting—just like a great work of art.

Its proportions are thoughtful and balanced:

L 10 in (26 cm)
D 10 in (26 cm)
H 17 in (43 cm)

Perfect for shelves, sideboards, or that one corner that always felt a bit...unfinished.

These light sculptures have become global icons of modern design—admired by collectors, embraced by minimalists, and quietly loved by those who just know when something feels right.

Not just a lamp. A legacy of light. And now, yours to bring home.
