Vitra Akari 45X Pendant Light

The Akari 45X Pendant Light is part of the Akari Light Sculptures collection and was designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1951. This handcrafted, Japanese inspired light has a stunning mid-century feel and a sharp silhouette. The 45X is a box like pendant light with soft textured details, it utilises a paper shade, designed to filter out the light source resulting in a soft glow illuminating the room. Each 45X is handcrafted in the Ozeki workshop in Gifu and finished with a sun and moon logo, guaranteeing authenticity to the owner and resembling their Japanese heritage.

The 45X Pendant is a stunning piece that optimises traditional washi paper and a steel base to create a perfect equilibrium between practicality and ambience. The Japanese word "Akari" is translated to "light", a link to the goal of the entire collection, as the whole collection can be characterised by every light's weightless luminosity.

Please Note: this product is provided with a non-dimmable lamp with a wattage of 4W, but can take a lamp with a maximum of 12W.
