The series comprises over 100 hand-made Shoji-paper models for table lights, standard lamps, or ceiling luminaires. Noguchi chose the name \"Akari\" for this lighting series, which means brightness, lightness, and light in Japanese.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver the years, Noguchi made further improvements to the design of his sculptures, including the bases. In the 1980s, he introduced the \"UF\" (unit-based frame) stand with longer and splayed legs, which elevated large shades higher from the ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Herman Miller has the sole license for the Isamu Noguchi collection in the U.S. and the Far East.
