We are thrilled to offer this Original Akari 2P Light Sculpture by Osamu Noguchi.
Purchased in Montreal in the 1980s. The 2P lamps are created from handmade washi paper and supported by a metal frame with tiny ball feet. The red detail at the top is a striking element.
In very good condition with minimal wear to shade with a rich patina on the washi paper. Signed/stamped.
29.5” h x 11” w
Akari Light Sculptures by Isamu Noguchi are considered icons of modern design. Designed by Noguchi beginning in 1951 and handmade by the original manufacturer in Gifu, Japan, the paper lanterns are a harmonious blend of Japanese handcraft and modernist form.
