Noguchi Coffee Table

Perhaps one of the most recognizable pieces of furniture in existence today, we are extremely excited to bring you a Noguchi coffee table! 

This classic table authorized by the Isamu Noguchi Foundation was originally created in 1944. The brilliantly simple design consists of only three elements, the glass top and two interlocking wood base pieces. The table is an extraordinary harmony of form and function.

The table is just three pieces. A 3/4-inch plate-glass top rests on two curved, solid wood legs that interlock to form a tripod for self-stabilizing support. This delicate balance is not surprising, given that from 1942 until his death in 1988, Noguchi designed all of choreographer Martha Graham’s sets. Although it looks delicate, it is solid, perfectly balanced, durable. 

This unit does not have a signature or etching, but that is true of many Noguchis. Purchased in Portugal by previous owner.
