Herman Miller Noguchi® Table
The Noguchi Coffee Table is an icon of 20th-century design. This organically shaped table by sculptor Isamu Noguchi fuses art and function — sturdy and ethereal. The table is in three pieces: a 3/4-inch plate-glass top balanced on two curved, solid interlocking wood legs that form a tripod for self-stabilizing support. No hardware connects the glass to the base; gravity and the interlocking geometry hold the assembly in place. Noguchi's signature is etched into the glass surface.
Designed in 1944 and in continuous production ever since, the Noguchi Table is a natural centrepiece for diverse groupings of modern or classic furniture.

FAQ
Does the Noguchi Table require hardware to assemble?
No. The table uses a three-piece assembly: two interlocking solid wood rockers and a free-floating glass top. The rockers interlock at their bases with a single pin; the glass rests on two rubber grommets on the rockers. No screws or tools are required.
Is there documentation of authenticity?
Yes — a certificate of authenticity is included with each table, and Isamu Noguchi's signature appears on the edge of the glass top.
What glass thickness is used?
The glass top is 3/4-inch tempered glass.
What wood and glass options are available?
Ebonized walnut or natural walnut for the base. Clear or black glass for the top. All four combinations are available.
Isamu Noguchi
USA, 1904 – 1988
“The art of stone in a Japanese garden is that of placement. Its ideal does not deviate from that of nature…but I am also a sculptor of the West. I place my mark and do not hide.” – Isamu Noguchi
Isamu Noguchi was born in Los Angeles in 1904 to an Irish-American mother and Yone Noguchi, a Japanese poet. In 1906, Noguchi’s mother took him to Japan, where he attended school. While in Japan, Noguchi gained an appreciation for its landscape, architecture and craftsmanship. Noguchi returned to the US and enrolled in Columbia University to study medicine, while at the same time taking sculpture classes on the lower east side of New York City. It wasn’t long before he realized that art, not medicine, was his true calling. His interest in abstract art led him to Paris where he met and worked with the great modernist sculptor, Constantin Brancusi.
After World War II, Noguchi returned to Japan and found a community of young artists eager to take part in the optimism of his new ideas. He continued to make individual sculptures, but was also given the opportunity to work on larger site-specific pieces.
His classic designs — notably his Akari lamps and his free-form coffee table — have never been more popular. In New York, weary urbanites take tranquil refuge in the delicate light and shadow of the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum. He has gardens in Paris, Jerusalem, and New York and outdoor sculptures and environments in seventeen American cities. In these beautiful, spiritual, and finely constructed works Isamu Noguchi has created a dynamic testament to the ties between East and West. Noguchi died in December of 1988 at the age of 84, but his influence continues to spread.
