VITRA AKARI 20N LIGHT
The Vitra Akari 20N Light is part of a celebrated collection of over 100 hand-crafted Shoji-paper models, designed as table lamps, floor lamps, and ceiling luminaries. Each piece represents a delicate balance between traditional Japanese craft and modern design principles.
The Meaning Behind “Akari”
The name “Akari” is derived from the Japanese word meaning light, brightness, and lightness—a fitting title for a series that celebrates the ethereal beauty of soft illumination and minimalist form.
Light Transformed Through Tradition
The Akari 20N emits a gentle, ambient glow that mimics sunlight filtered through Shoji paper. This effect transforms the harshness of electric light into a warm, natural radiance, echoing the sun’s original light—soft, comforting, and timeless.
“The magic of paper turns electricity back into sunlight, filling our rooms with warmth at night.”
