Noguchi Table
Overview
Design by Isamu Noguchi, 1948.
By Herman Miller.
Sculptor Isamu Noguchi took wood and glass and blended them together to make this graceful, organic piece of furniture. The Noguchi Table's balance of sculptural form and durable function has made it an understated and beautiful element in homes and offices since its introduction in 1948. Constructed of three pieces: a freeform, ¾" plate-glass top resting on two curved, solid wood legs that interlock to form a tripod for self-stabilizing support. Available wood finishes include: White Ash, Natural Cherry, Noguchi Black, and Walnut.
To assure authenticity, the signature of Isamu Noguchi discreetly appears on the edge of the top and on a medallion on the underside of the base. Under the medallion, his initials are stamped into the base.
Notes:
New for 2011, the base on the Noguchi Table is now available in (A2) White Ash. This solid ash base is finished with a process to arrest the ash in its natural, "freshly-cut" state. The resulting color is a creamy white that will not yellow or golden over time.

Statement Piece!
By: Cary O., Designer (Henderson, NV)
Great classic to last a lifetime- that was why I invested the $ into such an item. I was tired of buying new every couple of years (or sooner)- now I can keep this piece for life- I just love the classic lines with the mid century / contemporary feel.

The Real Deal

We ordered a Noguchi Table from YLIVING and the experience was excellent! We purchased it during the Herman Miller sale and therefore expected some long lead times, but our table arrived in a reasonable time frame. The customer service of YLIVING was great along the way. I was kept informed of my purchase and was not charged until the product was shipped. We are very pleased with our new table and its authenticity! Thanks again YLIVING!
Simple, clean & beautiful.

Very easy assembly. Beautiful work down to every detail. Easy to clean and maintain.
Fantastic Table
By: Thomas S., Homeowner (Chicago)
I have had the Noguchi Table for about a week, and I am very pleased with it. It offers a good amount of surface area without a lot of visual space. The glass was thicker (and much heavier) than expected; moving the glass is definitely a two person job.
A graceful addition to my living room

This is a very organic, versatile and graceful design. It brings out both simplicity and sophisticacity. It easily melts into the surroundings while smartly stands out as a central piece in my living room. love it so much!
Great looking table
By: George K. (Overland Park, KS)
Solid quality product which fit in perfectly with our smallish sectional couch. Shape and curves give lots of surface area on a small footprint. A true classic.
Love it!

The Noguchi table is timeless and the new light ash is a perfect for addition to any space.
Perfection
By: Victoria W, Architect (New York)
You can't go wrong with the Noguchi table. It is very easy to assemble. The wood structure is heavy, solid wood. It simply snaps into position with a single pin. While the design is delicate and graceful, it is also strong - the heavy glass will not tip.
Great product, Fair Service
By: Deepa S, Renter (San Francisco)
I bought the walnut table and it is quite beautiful and substantial in size. Customer service was fair when my shipment was initially lost, then delayed then found to be damaged by the white glove delivery service. The subsequent table sent was received quickly without incident.
The Perfect Table!
By: Mark R., Homeowner (Wilmette, IL)
You can't go wrong with the Noguchi Table. It's timeless and so functional. I love rounded edges, the shape allows for plenty of space for wine glasses and etc, but you don't find yourself tripping on it when moving around because of it's soft triangle-like shape. It completes our room.
Love it!

The Noguchi Table is so beautifully crafted, with a solid base and think glass. It has a very large surface area, but does not look or feel like a heavy piece. It's modern and sleek and a perfect addition to my Manhattan apartment. I would definitely recommend this table.
Designer: Isamu Noguchi
The son of an American writer and a Japanese poet, Isamu Noguchi was born in Los Angeles in 1904. He spent his childhood in Japan and his adolescence in America. Noguchi's fascination with art began while he was a pre-med student at Columbia University. A Guggenheim Fellowship in 1927 took him to Paris, where he worked in Brancusi's atelier. Noguchi's interests were as wide ranging as his travels: He designed visionary sets and costumes for the Martha Graham Dance Company and New York City Ballet, furniture and objects for a variety of manufacturers, the Akari lamps and myriad environments, site installations and large-scale public sculptures of great note. The Noguchi Garden Museum in Long Island City, New York, is a repository of his work.
