Artist and designer Isamu Noguchi believed the sculptor's task was to shape space, to give it order and meaning, and that art should “disappear,” or be as one with its surroundings. The Herman Miller Noguchi table strikes the perfect balance, literally, between art and furniture. A functional sculpture in 3 pieces, the chair features an organic, free form 3/4-in glass top resting on 2 sculpted, curved solid wood pieces that interlock to form a strong base. The ethereal form of the table does not diminish its practical and sturdy design, and has made the Noguchi and understated and enduring design classic in homes around the world since its introduction in 1948.
