Noguchi Coffee Table

Coffee Table
Isamu Noguchi, 1944

The sculptor and designer Isamu Noguchi described the Coffee Table as his best
furniture design – no doubt because it is reminiscent of his biomorphic sculptures in bronze and marble from the same period, translating the typical forms of the latter
into a piece of sculptural furniture. The heavy plate glass top of the Coffee Table rests on two identical wooden elements placed at right angles.

Materials
Table top: heavy glass, 19 mm, ground rounded edges.
Base: solid ash in black, walnut or maple, lacquered finish, rounded edges.
Origin of wood: ash (Fraxinus excelsior), walnut (Juglans nigra) and maple (Acer
platanoides) from Western Europe and/or Poland.
