The Akari Light Sculptures (1951) by Isamu Noguchi are a series of luminaires, handcrafted from traditional washi paper by Japanese artisans.

General Care

Dust delicate surfaces regularly using a soft feather duster, dry microfiber cloth, or low-pressure cold air.

Wipe the painted steel wire structure and legs with a dry cloth, drying thoroughly to protect the finish.
