Vitra Akari 1AY Lamp

The Akari 1AY 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. Where it differs from the rest of the Akari collection is in its bold colouring. Each 1AY 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 1AY Table 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.
