The Isamu Noguchi Akari lamp -inspired by the traditional Japanese paper lanterns- is one of the design icons of the last century.
To be completely honest with you, before starting Mid Century Home I never heard of Isamu Noguchi and his worksโฆbut from the first moment I saw his objects and sculptures, I started to love them ๐
The Achille Castiglioni Arco floor lamp has been one of my favorite lamps ever and -after the Achille Castiglioni Biography and the post about the Toio lamp- today I decided to finally write about it.
The Achille Castiglioni Arco floor lamp has been inspired by a common object: a street lamp.
The Isamu Noguchi coffee table is the todayโs iconic mid century object. Iโm lucky to see it every day from real -itโs in the hall of my office- and I can say to know it quite well ๐
