Vitra Akari 9A Lamp

The Akari 9A Lamp is part of the Akari Light Sculptures collection and was designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1951. This handcrafted, Japanese inspired light has a stunning mid-century feel and an unusual silhouette. The 9A stands upon a three legged steel base, and utilises a paper shade that filters out the light source to result in a soft glow illuminating the room. Each 9A is handcrafted in the Ozeki workshop in Gifu and finished with a sun and moon logo, guaranteeing authenticity to the owner and resembling their Japanese heritage.

The 9A Lamp is a stunning piece that optimises traditional washi paper and a steel base to create a perfect equilibrium between practicality and ambience. The Japanese word "Akari" is translated to "light", a link to the goal of the entire collection, as the whole collection can be characterised by every lights weightless luminosity.

This light needs to be installed near a socket as it comes with a cable and plug.
