The Vitra Akari 16A ceiling light was designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1951 and is one of over 100 Akari Light Sculptures created by the Japanese-American artist and designer. The term "akari" is Japanese for brightness and light and so more than suitable for the soothing light-giving Akari series of table, floor or ceiling lamps made of Washi paper that Vitra produces today.

Please note: If your desired Akari lamp is not currently in stock, we are unfortunately unable to tell you a specific delivery time. Due to the difficult circumstances on the world market regarding the procurement of raw materials and stagnating supply chains, as well as the fact that the Akari lamps are handmade in Japan by only a few specialists, waiting times of several months can unfortunately occur. If in doubt, please ask our friendly service team about availability before buying to avoid disappointment.
