Akari Noguchi Furniture










I was once given the most beautiful gift. An Akari Noguchi desk lamp which I treasure to this day. Isamu Noguchi was one of the most important artists of the 20th century (1904-1988). Isamu was the son of an American mother and a Japanese father, poet Yone Noguchi. He was born in LA, USA and spent his childhood in Japan before returning to the USA for his early education. As a young man he traveled to Paris to work with renowned sculptors and then went on to develop his own career as an artist in New York. His designs to this day are unique and immediately scream NOGUCHI. Very hard to find, the only store I found that seems reputable would be The Noguchi Museum Store http://akaristore.stores.yahoo.net
