Original suspension Akari by Isamu Noguchi, circa 1951

Rare suspension "n°26 a" by the japanese designer isamu noguchi, part of the akari series: akari means "light" in japanese, quite simply, illustrating the lightness of the piece brought back to its simplest expression. Handcrafted by japanese artisans, this luminaire is made of traditional washi paper resting on a bamboo structure. Red sun and moon ideogram and signature I. Noguchi. Signs of the times.
