Isamu Noguchi himself considered Coffee Table to be his most successful piece of furniture design, not least due to its striking similarity to the bronze and marble sculptures he created at the time. It authentically transposes biomorphic elements of works of art into a functional piece of furniture with a sculptural aesthetic. Produced by Vitra, it has a heavy, thick glass top that sits on two identical legs positioned at right angles. Coffee Table is available with black ash or walnut legs.
