Product Description

Akari Beehive Table Lamp

Lamps from the Akari "light" series have been represented in the Museum's design collection since the 1950s, when electrified versions of the traditional Japanese lantern were designed by sculptor Isamu Noguchi to revive Japan's paper lantern industry. Like its ancestors, the Akari Beehive Table Lamp has a delicate, slightly asymmetric design and is made from handmade washi paper and bamboo ribbing, supported by a metal frame. This genuine Akari lamp features a stamped symbol and the designer's signature. Accommodates up to 60-watt bulb (not included).
