THE STORY BEHIND THE ISAMU NOGUCHI COFFEE ABLE
'Everything is sculpture,' said Isamu Noguchi. This guiding principle is reflected in all of Isamu Noguchi's work, and this unique coffee table is a prime example. Designed in 1944, the table is a development of a rosewood and glass table that Isamu Noguchi built in 1939 for the President of the New York Museum of Modern Art.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Isamu Noguchi
1904-1988 (United States)
With a Japanese poet for a father and Scottish-American writer for a mother, it is not surprisingly that Isamu Noguchi inherited a strong creative streak. He was a prominent Japanese American artist and architect whose career spanned six decades, from the 1920s onward. Unwilling to be labelled, Noguchi created sculptures that could be as abstract as Henri Moore's or as realistic as Da Vinci's. He used any medium he could get his hands on: stone, metal, wood, clay, bone, paper - carving, casting, cutting, pounding, or dynamiting away as each form took shape.
