Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Isamu Noguchi, 1951

The Akari 14A is a floor lamp that balances scale with restraint. Its tall, tapered washi paper shade produces a warm, ambient glow that fills a room without overwhelming it — equally at home beside a sofa or anchoring a quiet corner. Designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1951, it sits at the heart of the Akari Light Sculptures series.

Each Akari luminaire is meticulously handcrafted at the Ozeki workshop, a traditional family-run company based in Gifu, Japan. Bamboo rods are stretched across Noguchi's original wooden forms to create the framework, before strips of washi paper — derived from the bark of the mulberry tree — are glued to the bamboo ribbing. Once dry, the wooden form is removed and the shade folded into its final shape. Every piece carries a stylised sun-and-moon logo as a guarantee of authenticity.
