The "Zenith Sphere Floor Lamp" pays homage to the iconic design legacy of Isamu Noguchi's Akari lamps. With its roots in the aesthetics and craftsmanship of post-war Japan, the Zenith Sphere embodies the simplicity and harmony that are hallmarks of Noguchi's work. This replica, while drawing inspiration from the Akari Model "45A on BB3 Base," reimagines the classic with a contemporary touch.
Each shade is a handcrafted piece of art, shaped from authentic Washi paper that diffuses light with a warm, inviting glow. The bamboo frame, visible through the paper, adds an organic texture that speaks to the lamp's natural elegance. The base provides a firm grounding, reminiscent of the original BB3 design, which allows the lamp to be a serene presence in any room.
The "Zenith Sphere Floor Lamp" is not only a source of light; it is a piece of sculptural beauty that resonates with the philosophies of both the East and the West, blending them seamlessly into a design that transcends time and space.
