The series includes over 100 handcrafted Shoji-paper models for table lamps, floor lamps, and ceiling fixtures. Noguchi named this lighting series \"Akari,\" which means brightness, lightness, and light in Japanese.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver time, Noguchi expanded the designs of the sculptures, including their bases. In the 1980s, he introduced the \"UF\" (unit-based frame) stand with longer and splayed legs, which raised the more oversized shades higher off the ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHerman Miller has the sole license for the Isamu Noguchi collection in the U.S. and the Far East.
