This black ash and glass table is evidence of Noguchi’s belief that ‘everything is sculpture’. Indeed, the original was designed for the house of A Conger Goodyear, president of New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The Japanese-American had met Giacometti and Brancusi on a Guggenheim Fellowship to Paris in 1927, returning to the US to blur the boundaries between monumental sculpture and organic furniture design. Noguchi’s signature is acid-etched into the glass. Designed in 1944, the table is also available in walnut or maple.
