Hand-made form by Ozeki & Co. Ltd., Gifu, Japan.<\/p>\n

Noguchi’s Akari series started in 1951, model UF2-31N started in 1985.<\/p>\n

I Noguchi signature, sun and moon ideogram on shade. Gemini G.E.L sticker on fitting. <\/p>\n

This model is one of the later Akari models, introduced by Noguchi in 1985. Gemini G.E.L was one of the few – and one of the last – allowed to distribute Noguchi’s Akari light sculptures in the mid 1980’s before The Noguchi Museum took over all rights. They marketed Akari as art in the form of light sculpture – something Noguchi had advocated for since their inception. Noguchi also made 26 galvanized steel editions for Gemini in the 1980’s.<\/p>\n

Washi paper shade, bamboo ribbing supported by metal frame.<\/p>\n

Measurements: 32″ height, 13.5″ diameter of legs, 20.5″ height of shade, 12″ diameter of shade<\/p>\n

Condition: Excellent overall condition. Please refer to images and feel free to be in touch with questions.<\/p>\n
