VITRA AKARI 1A TABLE LIGHT
The Vitra Akari 1A Table Light is part of the iconic Akari Light Sculptures collection, designed in 1951 by Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi. The word “Akari” means “light” in Japanese, symbolizing both illumination and physical lightness. Inspired by traditional Japanese lanterns, the 1A model captures Noguchi’s vision of merging modernist design with timeless handcraft.
