Coffee Table - Isamu Noguchi

Coffee Table designed by the Japanese sculptor Isamu Noguchi for Vitra. Base in solid wood with lacquer finish and rounded edges, heavy glass, 19 mm, rounded edges top. Isamu Noguchi himself 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. The designer's signature is on the glass surface, close to the base.
