Coffee Table - Vitra

Isamu Noguchi, 1944.

Mesa Noguchi Coffee Table.

Noguchi himself described his Coffee Table as his best furniture design, perhaps because it reminds him a lot of his old bronze and marble sculptures and because its natural shape makes it a real sculptural piece of furniture: on two identical wooden elements at right angles rests a heavy glass with a thickness of 19mm.
