SUMMARY 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 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 these 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 from the mulberry tree, because it softens the light, making it gentle and spreading it evenly
Note*: To ensure correct installation, please follow these connection guidelines:- Connect the black wire to hole number 2
