I can’t tell you when or where I was when I first saw Nougchuchi Akri’s light carved, but I can tell you that I was in love with them from that moment. Given that it was designed for the first time in the early fifties of the last century and is very popular after about 40 years of the death of Nogucci, this is the same as a delicious fried potatoes … Most people feel the same way. Not exactly the flash news. But when history, art and innovation meet, this is when a truly distinguished person is created and must be celebrated.
Here is a brief history of these lights-everything started during a trip through GIFU in Japan when ISAMU NOGUCHI was assigned to create two lanterns to help stimulate the lantern industry that was once in that city. For him, these functional sculptures and modern lanterns that are still integrating the traditional GIFU elements – Washi Paper, were foldable, etc. on the Nouguchi website, and he said, “will refer later to Akari as” the art of elegant people. ” I really love it for us I do not know about your summaries, but not a week (or day) passes where I do not see a light carving in Akari in a beautifully designed space, in a variety of home styles. They work with them all! For me, there are many reasons why they are so popular that I will get it during this post, but the diversity at the heart of each of them. Today we will focus on the most popular style (at least from my point of view) and this is Akari Globe (not the official name because each size is simply called a different number).
Classic two
It is not a secret that this necklace (in both styles) has been copied more times than any of us can rely on. But as the owner of a person who suffers from a “regularly diverged”, I can say confidently that getting the original if you can bear it, is worth it. Washi paper is completely outside white and you can only see/feel quality. The other method, which I love also, is the twisted “random wound”. I read that he loves the alternative between the two.
How did we use it
Now I am sure we used it more than just a handful of examples, but this is at least a pleasant way to see them using IRL!
This was the first popular studio apartment and the Akari necklace was at the top of the List of the Chamber of Living. I will never stop saying that it gives the most beautiful light, and my only simple regret did not get a larger size (I couldn’t justify $ $ $). This size is great, of course, but I love a great look that I will get later. Although this one is currently in a nommodic room waiting for his return on the Internet and yes, he looks perfect in that room too!


If you don’t know a tendency, it’s the semi -EHD that has worked as a designer with us years ago. It is our neutral minimum queen that has a deep love and appreciation for Japanese design. So, of course, the Akari necklace traveled with it to all its homes.

For non -design lovers, I am sure that this most minimal home style is where most people put these lights. The patterns, colors and beauty are very aligned … However …

Emily also used Nuguchi light in her primary bedroom, which is a completely different style from Mel’s, which is a complete dream. It is large enough to lose it visually, it’s light enough to make the ceilings feel length, talking lightly to the carpet, and adds another material and style, which is an enjoyable shape! All in all, it’s perfect here too.
Go with every style
I thought it would be fun to look at more examples of how this necklace has real design. He also goes with everything with his own statement. It is a great thing to see it turns with every style. Come and see …
Modern membership
Since most people link these commentators with neutral colors, I thought I would show you that, but in a more modern/contemporary way … well, Sarah Sherman Samuel Way
This house is “post -modern modernity”, so the opposite makes the soft light The arbiter is that the entire room feels a little comfortable.
My industrial selective
It also looks very cold with the appearance of the “selective industrial” upper role! These spaces usually contain many straight lines with shelves, books, furniture, etc. So adding a large lighting ball in the middle of the area creates a lot of attention and visual texture. In addition to lining lining also completes all of these straight lines. victory!
The rural cabin collected
It may be one of the favorite methods that I see this necklace used is the “rural cabin that has been collected”. The walls and/or ceilings are covered with reclaimed wood, and the furniture is mostly ancient but in modern shapes, and there is a wonderful art and flexibility everywhere.
So when this beautiful light cream necklace is installed, the ideal, ideal, soft statement that visually raises the entire space and makes it feel lighter but it keeps comfort.
Modern euro
Ok, exchange of shooting. This is liberation and my favorite stereotype. Houses with amazing old templates, large marble stoves, and a mixture of old and new furniture. The European feels very much, but there are, of course, homes around the world can suit this description.
With these two houses, their maximum colored methods are incredible. A different roof light can make these rooms more intense and dangerous. Instead, the Akari necklace diluted the mood, and made them feel more fun and selective
The same applies to this room. It is a little less than the maximum and decorated, but the use of the unexpected paper lantern suspended from the ceiling makes it more invited.
Of course, if you are a neutral person from the white and neutral house, this necklace has also been made for you. It is beautiful, not boring, and has a great texture and pattern. A completely neutral house should not be a single note. It can help equip this
Grandma
“Jeddas” love her too! This wonderful colored house is just an optical explosion of joy. What the Akari necklace does is that it adds this texture I will not stop talking about it. But since it is very neutral, it allows the eye to take everything else in the room first. Nothing fights.
McM modern
This light is first designed in the fifties, so these two are a match made in the design of the sky. No notes. Oh, but see what I mean about glow! ??
Large -sized
Tell me this is not the most wonderful necklace in the world?! I am obsessed when people go to the huge version. It is simplicity that gives it! It will not overwhelm the space visually and it seems impossible to be impossible. I can’t photograph more perfect light for this space.
Then you have these adult boys in smaller spaces and still, not much (in reality perfectly perfect).
Then what I loved in these two examples is that they resemble some of the houses in which we were (still incredibly beautiful and away from the connected LOL). I just feel that these may help you imagine this necklace in your home a little easier.
Not much more to say, regardless of the fact that I also love these pictures and I think they should be included

Double problem
While I was exceeding the preserved Instagram posts, I noticed a small trend in many homes, it seems that two are better than one. Let’s look!
Another favorite picture intensifies my dream only in possessing an upper role (preferably in New York City but I am open :)). The pendants seem to make a magic trick where they are noisy and calm at the same time. Full perfection and perhaps something to think about if you have an open concept house.
He sees? High ceilings, open concept, and each necklace appoints a region. Very cool.
However, since most of us simply do not live an elegant upper life that does not mean that multiple pendants cannot be in our homes too! Do you see how Hayes Little Studio installed it in the sweet dining room?
In the kitchen ??
There was another interesting note that I had in my photo research that it is very popular in the kitchens. Looking at the general chaos of the kitchen with oils and dust, I didn’t think this necklace would be an ideal choice, but I am happy that I have proven wrong.
Aside from being an ideal kitchen in general (what I would like to call me to call!), Since the necklace is placed away enough of the stove, I think it is likely to be good. In addition, the presence of this large round shape contrasts with all the solid lines is very ideal.
So again, the trick seems to be the necklace enough from the stove and/or rises.
This was very beautiful so that it does not include
You can become high or very low. Let’s actually talk more about it …
Low hanging
Another great “feature” of these lights is that you can play easily with height mode. Since the lamp is almost completely covered and the light/distributed is distributed evenly, it can be installed as almost a bearer or low at the moment of a cold intended design.
Other classic forms
Globe shape is not your only choice. These plate patterns are the other classic as well.
Always the option of the ground lamp
And don’t worry! If you like these pendants, but in reality you just need a ground lamp, this is also an option.
I really feel enthusiastic every time I see this necklace in a new design and I see how it works effortlessly. I cannot imagine that I will ever get tired because of the amount of brightness and comfort they pump in every space. How do you feel all? Does any of you have one of these beauty? Any other ideas ??
I love you, it means.
