The Akari Rice Paper Floor Lamp carries on the legacy of one of the most beloved lamp designs of the 20th century. Made from mulberry paper stretched over a metal frame, it casts a warm, soft light that transforms any room into a space of quiet calm.
"The inspiration stems from a visit to the Japanese fishing village of Gifu, where Noguchi watched fishermen at work — using trained cormorants for the hunt, and lanterns to attract fish. These lanterns had ribs made of bamboo, covered with fine paper. He took this design to create light sculptures of his own, using paper from the mulberry tree — because it softens the light, making it gentle and spreading it evenly."
