Herman Miller Noguchi Coffee Table

Product details

Seller's Notes:Authentic Noguchi coffee table by Herman Miller with a sculptural walnut base and original glass top. A timeless mid-century design that works beautifully as a centerpiece in any living space. The table is in good overall condition. The wood base is well maintained, and the glass shows light surface wear from normal use. There is a small chip on the edge of the glass and a minor hairline crack in the wood base (both pictured), which do not affect stability or functionality. Priced to reflect condition while still being a great opportunity to own an iconic design piece.

Following his apprenticeship with the legendary Constantin Brancusi, sculptor Isamu Noguchi began to experiment in environmental design, theatrical sets – he was the only designer that choreographer Martha Graham would work with – and, eventually, product design. He created his first furniture prototypes for Herman Miller in 1942 and went on to work with companies such as Steuben and Zenith. The Noguchi Table (1948) conceals nothing, revealing everything about the nature of simplicity. Two smoothly shaped pieces of solid wood interlock to form a tripod that supports a thick glass tabletop. The base is available in black, walnut, white oak, and white ash, the latter of which is finished with a process that arrests the wood in its freshly cut state, resulting in a creamy white color that will not turn yellow over time. This is the authentic Noguchi Table by Herman Miller.
