Isamu Noguchi‘s Noguchi Table

今天要介绍的是由美籍设计师Isamu Noguchi设计，Herman Miller出品的Noguchi Table。Isamu Noguchi本来是一位雕塑家，后来投身于产品设计。The Noguchi Table 将一切以一种简约的方式展现出来。两片光滑打磨的木片合并成一个三脚架的造型支撑了厚玻璃桌面。如今，桌腿也有了黑色胡桃木，或是自然色的樱桃木等选择。直到现在，这款茶几仍是现代家局装饰的不二之选。

Following his apprenticeship with the legendary Constantin Brancusi, sculptor Isamu Noguchi began to experiment in environmental design, theatrical sets – he was the only designer that choreographer Martha Graham would work with – and, eventually, product design. He created his first furniture prototypes for Herman Miller in 1942 and went on to work with companies such as Steuben and Zenith. The Noguchi Table conceals nothing, revealing everything about the nature of simplicity. Two smoothly shaped pieces of solid wood interlock to form a tripod that supports a thick glass tabletop. The base is available in black, walnut, natural cherry and white ash, the latter of which is finished with a process that arrests the wood in its freshly cut state, resulting in a creamy white color that will not turn yellow over time. This is the authentic Noguchi Table by Herman Miller.
