The carbon fibre tube of Anywhere is designed so that the user can change the position of the hanging light by rotating it, using a built-in cord. It's a light fixture that adapts to the way we use the space, rather than the reverse. The attached Akari light sculptures by Isamu Noguchi are considered icons of 1950s modern design. First designed by Noguchi in 1951 and handmade for a half century by the original manufacturer in Gifu, Japan, the paper lanterns are a harmonious blend of Japanese handcraft and modernist form.
