Noguchi Lamp 120A Ceiling

Each authentic Akari 120A lamp is handmade in Gifu, Japan, by Ozeki. You can verify its authenticity by checking for the 'Half Moon Design' logo and Isamu Noguchi’s signature stamped directly onto the washi paper shade.

While the washi paper is delicate, it is surprisingly resilient when handled with care. It is designed to be a permanent fixture, but you should avoid placing it in high-humidity areas or spots where it might be frequently brushed against.

Choose the hardwire kit if you want a clean, permanent look with no visible cords. The plug-in kit is ideal for renters or spaces where you want the flexibility to move the lamp without electrical work.

The 120A is an oversized piece measuring 47 inches in diameter and 45 inches in height. It is best suited for rooms with high ceilings or large open-concept spaces where it can serve as a central focal point without feeling crowded.

Yes, you can use an LED bulb as long as it fits the E26/E27 base and does not exceed the 100-watt equivalent. Using a warm-toned LED is recommended to maintain the soft, diffused glow characteristic of the washi paper.

The best way to maintain the shade is to gently dust it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using any liquid cleaners or water, as they can damage the paper and the bamboo structure.
