The Noguchi table is a piece of modernist furniture first produced in the mid-20th century.
Introduced by Herman Miller in 1947, it was designed in the United States by Japanese American artist and industrial designer Isamu Noguchi. The Noguchi table comprises a wooden base composed of two identical curved wood pieces, and a heavy plate glass top.[1]
Construction
The base was originally produced in walnut, birch, and cherry.[1] It was later offered in ebonized walnut.
Cherry bases were made only during the first year the table was on the market, and have been highly sought since.
