The Akari 33N, designed by Isamu Noguchi, is a sculptural pendant lamp that beautifully blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modernist design. Its elongated, gently tapered form creates a graceful vertical presence, offering a striking yet subtle statement in any room.

The 33N is perfect for creating ambient, expressive illumination in living rooms, dining areas, or spaces with high ceilings. Its elegant, sculptural form adds a sense of calm and artistry, making it as much a piece of design as it is a functional light source.

About the Artist

Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was a Japanese-American artist and designer celebrated for his sculpture, architecture, and lighting designs. Born in Los Angeles and raised between Japan and the United States, Noguchi studied under modernist influences while maintaining a deep appreciation for Japanese aesthetics and craftsmanship.

He began designing his iconic Akari light sculptures in the early 1950s, combining traditional washi paper and bamboo with modernist forms to create functional art that blurs the line between sculpture and lighting. Noguchi’s work is renowned for its minimal elegance, organic forms, and the poetic interplay of light and shadow, making his pieces timeless icons of 20th-century design.
