Noguchi Coffee Table Vitra Design Museum Walnut

Noguchi Coffee Table from the Vitra Design Museum in Walnut

“With Isamu Noguchi’s Coffee Table two identical wooden parts are mirrored and staggered to form a stable base for a drop-shaped, round and polished 19 mm thick plate glass table top. The unique Vitra table construction is almost sculptural in its conception, yet thank to its accessible organic shape loses nothing in terms of its domesticity. Isamu Noguchi himself described the Coffee Table as his best design.” -text: Vitra
