Born November 17, 1904 – December 30, 1988
Japanese American artist and landscape architect
The perfect balance—literally—between art and furniture. Sculptor Isamu Noguchi created his distinctive table by joining a curved, wood base with a freeform glass top. The ethereal result does not diminish the practical design—a sturdy and durable table. This marriage of sculptural form and everyday function has made the Noguchi table an understated and beautiful element in homes and offices since its introduction in 1948.

adjusted backwards at a 90-degree angle, which is made possible by an

rubber mounts. In 1946 George Nelson designed "Platform", a simple and
functional bench, forentsteht for Herman Miller.
