"Everything is sculpture - any material, any idea without hindrance born into space I consider sculpture."
-Isamu Noguchi
The Noguchi coffee table joins a curved, solid wood base with a freeform glass top. This balance of sculptural form and everyday function has made the Noguchi table an understated and beautiful attraction in homes and offices since its introduction in 1948.
It consists of three pieces - a 3/4" plate-glass top resting on two curved, solid wood legs that interlock to form a tripod for self-stabilizing support. The solid wood base has a lacquered finish and available in Noguchi black, walnut, white oak or white ash. The white ash base is finished with a process that arrests the wood in its natural, "freshly cut" state. The resulting color is a creamy white that will not turn yellow or golden over time.
Noguchi believed the sculptor's task was to shape space, to give it order and meaning, and that his art should "disappear," and be at one with its surroundings.
To assure authenticity, the signature of Isamu Noguchi discreetly appears on the edge of the top and on a medallion on the underside of the base; under the medallion, his initials are stamped into the base.
