Vitra Noguchi Coffee Table
Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Isamu Noguchi, 1944
Sculpture You Can Live With
Noguchi himself described the Coffee Table as his best furniture design — no doubt because it is reminiscent of his biomorphic sculptures in bronze and marble from the same period, translating their characteristic forms into a piece of sculptural furniture. The heavy plate glass top rests on two identical wooden elements placed at right angles to one another, the whole held together by the logic of the form alone, without a single connector.
The 19mm tempered glass top sits directly on the self-supporting wooden base, its weight and geometry doing the work of any fixing. Each authentic Vitra edition produced since 2002 carries Isamu Noguchi’s signature etched into the glass alongside the words “Vitra Design Museum” — a mark of provenance as considered as the design itself.
