Designer Tom [Sachs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jchair) re-launches one of his most iconic light sculptures from his 'Tea Ceremony' exhibit from 2016 -- it is now revived in New York's Nogochi Museum. The special lamp is a limited edition piece and was originally a design created as a collaborative effort between Sachs and the museum. It is now available once again online for the price of $1,200 USD and it imitates the signature 'Akari Light Sculptures' by Isamu Noguchi.

The original sculptures are constructed using a light fabric material wrapped around a sleek frame. Each lamp boasts the same construction and features original drawings that were hand-drawn by Sachs himself. The illustrations represent his own iteration of the [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-the-light) [Apollo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/element-house) lunar lander. Every lamp is unique to its own as Sachs personally draws each one, totalling up to a limited 110 pieces.
