Isamu Noguchi
Akari Light Sculpture, model S2
suspension lamp
with sun and moon ideogram
together with the original paper bag stamped S2

Noguchi designed his series of Akari light sculptures in the 1950s. Using mulberry wood paper (mino) produced in Gifu, Japan by the Ozeki company, he created a range of floor lamps under the name Akari derived from a Japanese word for light.

This model S2 suspension light comprises a shaped Washi paper shade on a metal frame. This model was designed by Noguchi in 1977 and the shade bears the Sun and Moon mark.

The shade measures 91cm high with a diameter of approximately 44cm. It is in very good condition, with just one tiny inconsequential tear (shown in images).
