Vitra Akari YP1 Pendant

Designed by Isamu Noguchi, the vitra Akari YP1 Pendant boasts a geometric paper shade that is handcrafted in the Ozeki workshop, a family-run business in Gifu, and is made from bamboo rods and washi paper. The process can take up to six hours just to complete one, and each pendant is finished with a sun and moon logo in order to validate its authenticity.

Thanks to the contemporary paper shade, this Akari pendant projects a warm ambient lighting effect that creates a relaxing atmosphere in both residential and commercial spaces. The harshness of electricity is filtered through the magic of paper, filling the room with warmth while avoiding any harsh glare. The vitra Akari YP1 is a beautiful addition to hallways, bedrooms, living rooms, dining spaces and kitchens in order to curate an inviting ambience.
