Akari EN Suspension Lamp Oval

This eye-catching Akari EN Suspension Lamp Oval was designed in 1951 by Isamu Noguchi for the Swiss label Vitra.

The origins of Vitra date back to 1950 when Willi Fehlbaum opened a store fixtures shop near Basel. Still a family business, the firm now specialises in retailing distinctive lines of office furniture, lighting and accessories for homes and businesses. Standout products in the Vitra Home and Office collections include the Eames Lounge and Wire chairs, the MedaPal swivel chair, the Alcove Sofa, and the striking Akari collection of lamps which were inspired by night fishing lanterns on Japan's Nagara River.

Fashioned from hand-made Shoji paper on a frame of bamboo and steel wire, this stylish Akari EN Suspension Lamp Oval delivers warm and comfortable mood lighting while serving as a focal point for any space. With a frame measuring 25cm in height and 50cm in diameter, its simple, compact form radiates the sublime minimalism that is the mark of Japanese culture. Elegant, exotic and supremely functional, the Akari EN Suspension Lamp Oval offers a perfect ambient lighting solution for spaces of all kinds especially modern bedrooms and living rooms.
