Designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1951, the Akari Light Sculptures are crafted by hand in Japan from washi paper and bamboo ribbing. Using these traditional techniques, each piece embodies Noguchi’s idea of bringing “lightness” into everyday living through both form and illumination. The Akari 10A is a floor lamp with a softly curved paper shade that diffuses light into a gentle, ambient glow.

Its balanced proportions and slender metal base give it an understated presence, while the natural texture of the paper adds warmth to any room. Both functional and sculptural, it works well as a feature in a living space, reading corner, or bedroom. Like the rest of the Akari collection, the 10A reflects Noguchi’s vision of lighting as a way to create atmosphere as much as brightness.
