Like a floating lantern in the sky, the Akari 21A looks beautifully majestic with its light expression and traditional style. Isamu Noguchi first designed this piece and the entire Akari series in 1951, using delicate washi paper ,to contrast the harshness of electricity against the intricate outer shell of washi paper. Noguchi's goal was to recreate the organic illumination experienced with the light of our origin - the sun. The delicate , simple appearance will brighten up any room and fill it with traditional aspects.
The Akari 21A is similar to the Akari 50EN in terms of shape but features distinctly thinner lines that are closer together across the surface, creating a smoother and more refined display. With such pride and dignity the Akari 21A is handmade by the Ozeki workshop in Gifu, using a bamboo/steel wire structure with the washi paper in a meticulous process, finished with a sun-and-moon logo that guarantees its authenticity. The 21A is unlike most as it has a fuller wire middle creating more of a solid appearance and presence .
The word "Akari," in fact, means "light" in Japanese - nodding towards the idea of the series. Any of the Akari pieces will look beautiful with the 21A so why not pair any of the Akari collection for a Japanese-influenced decor. Use the light to create convenience for the space when working, reading, and navigating and delight in its atmospheric glow.
