Description
The Akari Floor Lamp is part of the Akari light sculptures, designed in 1951 by the American Japanese artist. He chose the name ‘Akari’ for these objects, a word that means ‘light’ in Japanese, connoting both illumination and physical lightness.
The inspiration for the design of akari lights stems from a visit to the Japanese fishing village of Gifu, where watched the fishermen at work. They do not only use trained cormorants for the hunt but also lanterns to attract fish. These lanterns had ribs made of bamboo, which were covered with fine paper.
He took the design of this traditional lanterns for the occasion to create light sculptures made of wood and paper on his own. For the Akari Floor Lamp, the designer uses paper of the mulberry tree, because it softens the light, making it gentle and spreads it evenly.

Great lamp! I purchased this lamp to have more room on my desk. It couldve been a little taller but its fine! Itll give me enough light to work when its dark out. Great purchase.

Perfect for our nursery. Double check the height you need because it isnt very tall. I wanted a second one to put behind a chair but had to look for a taller one.

Got these for my sons poorly lit college apartment. He says they look great and were easy to set up. Only drawback he says was super annoying packaging. For the good value and nice lamp, it was worth it though.

I work at a furniture store and building lamps can sometimes be the most annoying task of the day, because the tracking between rods is off-centered and can be quite frustrating to keep it straight, this lamp is the opposite. Its well constructed to make building very easy.
