For thousands of years, oil lamps have offered light and comfort. They transcend cultures and traditions, and they play a central role in many rituals and stories. Inspired by the love of glass and pure, simple forms, the small, independent Italian brand Animacontemporanea have reimagined these ancient vessels for the modern world – a world where our homes are our sanctuaries, our time is precious, and many of us are searching for balance and harmony. The name AKI is Japanese and means ‘sparkle’,‘bright’ and ‘hope’. It can also signify ‘autumn’ – a season whose golden light and long shadows evoke the warm, tranquil atmosphere that our lamps create.
