“In 1951 Isamu Noguchi visited the town of Gifu, Japan, known for its manufacture of lanterns and umbrellas from mulberry bark paper and bamboo. Noguchi designed the first of his lamps that would be produced by the traditional Gifu methods of construction. He called these works Akari, a term meaning light as illumination, but also implying the idea of weightlessness.”

Wer hat diesen Blick und stellt Schafe im Krafftmeier-Design ins Licht von Akari-Leuchten? Akari – das sollte man wissen – ist ein Synonym für traditionelle japanische Licht-Kunst.
