A VERY NICE GIFT

I mentioned to a friend a while back how I had always wanted to own an Akari Light Sculpture by Isamu Noguchi ..... 
not an Ikea knock off but an original  ......
I also mentioned how it was impossible to find one here in Australia ....


 so what should arrive in the post a few weeks later .....
an original Akari !!!
(my friend happens to live in the UK) ...

 
 as you could imagine I was one very, very happy bunny ....


.... I love it so much,
 but not as much as my gorgeous friend !!!

I did hear on the grapevine that Sarah from Small Spaces plans to stock them here in Sydney ...
fingers crossed !!!

Love the lamp...
It is just something very Scandinavian about the design of it...

Have a great day

You have the best friend ever. I went to an exhibition of his work at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park a while back and was lucky enough to be gifted one of his cups his work was a total eye opener.
