We are looking at an Akari light sculpture, the 1N. One of the many Akari that Isamu Noguchi designed. The sculpture appears uncommon, yet obtainable. A modern light bulb illuminates the traditional handwork and the natural materials of the shade.

Blurring the lines between functional product and art object, it escapes categorization. The floating form looks like the sail of a boat. The tripod legs appear ready for a lunar landing.

About the Designer

Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was a celebrated American artist and designer known for his diverse works spanning sculpture, garden design, furniture, and stage sets, reflecting his bicultural Japanese and American heritage. He studied under Constantin Brancusi and traveled extensively, integrating influences from East Asian aesthetics, including Japanese gardens and Chinese brush painting, into his abstract, organic sculptures. His lasting legacy includes iconic pieces like the Red Cube sculpture, his famous Akari lamps, and several mass-produced furniture designs that are still in production today.
