Akari 1AY is a table lamp designed by Isamu Noguchi for Vitra. It is a table lamp of a smaller size. It is designed in shoji paper and handcrafted with a steel frame. The shape is organic with soft curves that create contrast against three straight legs in black painted steel. The fixture is imaginatively painted with an abstract pattern in orange, which gives the Akari 1AY an artistic character. Akari is a series of light fixtures designed by the Japanese-American sculptor, architect and designer Isamu Noguchi in 1951. Noguchi's work is artistically linked to abstract expressionism and his design language came to have a great influence on the design of the 1950s. The light series Akari was created by Noguchi with inspiration taken from traditional Japanese design. The series consists of a total of over 100 luminaires and includes floor, table and ceiling lamps. All of Noguchi's light sculptures are designed in shoji paper, which is made from the bark of mulberry trees. The material provides a soft and atmospheric lighting.
