Akari model 9A light sculpture by Isamu Noguchii. The shade is made from handmade washi paper, wood and bamboo ribs with authentic Noguchi Akari manufacturer's stamp. Akari light sculptures by Isamu Noguchi are considered icons of 1950s modern design. Designed by Noguchi in the 1950s, this vintage example is from a more recent production run that was still largely handmade by Ozeki, the original manufacturer in Gifu, Japan. Retains original manufacturer's packaging and authentic red Noguchi stamp on lamp.
