The greatest designs of modern times

Akari Lamp 1A
Designed by Isamu Noguchi, 1951
Marrying function and sculpture, Noguchi’s endlessly imitated lamps are a domestic work of art.

“There are few designs as simple and omnipresent as Noguchi’s Akari paper lamps, which have been copied to death. One could argue that the Akari lamps, which Noguchi presented at the 1986 Venice Art Biennale, are indeed artworks, making them among the most widely disseminated art objects in the world. With the lamps, Noguchi brought together a centuries-old traditional Japanese technique with modern technology, and did so in the most beautiful of ways.” —Spencer Bailey, editor-at-large, Phaidon
