Coffee Table

Noguchi himself described Coffee Table as his best furniture design, no doubt because it echoes his bronze and marble sculptures of the time, translating the latter’s biomorphic formal language into a piece of sculptural furniture. The table top rests on two identical wooden elements placed at right angles. Collection Vitra Design Museum, © The Isamu Noguchi Foundation. Material: varnished solid wood base, 19 mm glass top with rounded edges.
