Product Description

Vitra Akari 55D Pendant


Designed by Isamu Noguchi, the Akari 55D Pendant is handcrafted out of washi paper. The name Akari means 'light' in Japanese, connoting both illumination and physical lightness. The harshness of electricity is filtered through the magic of paper, filling the room with warmth while avoiding any harsh glare. This pendant light is crafted by hand in the Ozeki workshop, a traditional family-run company based in Gifu. Bamboo rods are stretched across wooden forms designed by Noguchi to make the framework and in turn, determining the shape of the object.

The Akari 55D Pendant utilises washi paper, derived from the bark of the mulberry tree, is cut into strips and then glued to the bamboo ribbing. After the glue has dried, the wooden form is removed and the shade can be folded. The Akari Light Sculptures are marked with a stylised sun-and-moon logo, which also resembles the corresponding Japanese characters. This symbol guarantees the authenticity of each product. A beautiful addition to living spaces, bedrooms, hallways and dining spaces.
