The Vitra Akari 9A lamp is part of the Akari Light Scuptures collection created by the American-Japanese designer Isamu Noguchi in 1951. Noguchi found inspiration during a trip to Japan and a visit to the city of Gifu, which is known for making paper umbrellas and lanterns. Since then, more than 100 Akari table, floor and pendant lamps have been created, and which are all still handmade from washi paper and via traditional processes in a family business in Japan. The innovative sculptural forms epitomise the artist and designer Noguchi, the materials suggest lightness and offer clever combinations. Since 2002 Vitra has been working in close coordination with the Isamu Noguchi Foundation as the manufacturer of the Akari lights. The signum in the form of sun and moon on every original Akari design lamp guarantees its authenticity and uniqueness. Popular designers such as Charles and Ray Eames and Verner Panton are also united under the Vitra label.
