Akari 10A

Part of Isamu Noguchi’s Akari Light Sculptures, the 10A blends craft and sculpture into a single, ambient object. Handmade from washi paper and bamboo by artisans in Japan, it rests lightly on a thin metal frame that feels weightless. The diffused light has a warm, organic quality, creating a soft atmosphere without glare. Though delicate in appearance, the form is enduring and iconic, balancing material tradition with modernist restraint.
