Isamu Noguchi Akari light sculptures. Model 41S.<\/p>\n

Noguchi’s Akari series was started in 1951, model 41S was designed in 1956. This is an early model, marked with iconic red sun and moon ideogram.<\/p>\n

This rare model was marketed in early Bonniers publications as the 41S; the shade model would become known as the 30A and the bamboo base was later known at the BB1.<\/p>\n

(Bonniers was the pioneering New York department store founded in 1911 on Madison Avenue which earned its reputation for its pace-setting selection of Scandinavian, Bauhaus-influenced, and Italian modern furnishings, tableware and lighting. It was the first US distributor of Akari and held the first international exhibition of Akari in spring of 1955).<\/p>\n

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