The pendant light offers sculptural elegance with its handcrafted Japanese shoji paper construction, wrapped around a sculpted wire frame. Its durable yet thin paper material allows light to gently pour through the surface, creating a soft ambient glow. The traditional craftsmanship combines mid-century design with functional lighting, while the wire frame provides structural support and maintains the light's distinctive form.
Handcrafted from traditional Japanese shoji paper, this complexly formed pendant is part of the Akari collection of mid-century lighting by Isamu Noguchi. Designed in 1951, the sculptural form of this light is created by wrapping durable yet thin rolls of paper around a sculpted wire frame. The use of shoji paper allows light to gently pour through the surface, providing a soft glow to the room.
