ProfessionalProduct description
BB3 floor lamp with Washi Paper lampshade designed by Isamu Noguchi.
Manufactured by Ozeki, Japan.
This floor lamp features a white Washi paper lampshade, a bamboo shaft and a spherical iron base. The shade is marked with a red sun and crescent moon, with the facsimile signature of Isamu Noguchi
The Akari lights series has been designed by Isamu Noguchi beginning in 1951, with various models that evolved over decades.
Inspired by traditional Japanese paper lanterns made of washi paper and bamboo, Noguchi aimed to revitalize Japan's faltering paper lantern industry through the use of these traditional elements. This iconic piece blends cultural heritage with modern design, making it a timeless addition to really any interior.
Good vintage condition, earlier stand with at some point renewed paper shade 55D.
According to our exchange with the manufacturer, the Ozeki Company in Gifu, Japan, this lamps base can’t be dated exactly but must be minimum 35 years old. Due to the electric components it should not have been produced before 1980 and we would date it to the early to mid 1980ies. It clearly is a Japanese production of that time period and has the Ozeki paper label as well as the Japanese electric components.
The indicated price is the final price, incl. 19% VAT, plus shipping costs. According to 25 A UStG (differential taxation), the VAT is not shown in the invoice!
