Akari is a Japanese term that means “light” both in the sense of illumination, but also weightlessness. Noguchi’s work has left an indelible mark on the world of design, and his creations continue to be highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
It is signed in the paper hood as well as in the iron foot, as shown in photos.
