The Noguchi Coffee Table, which is also held and exhibited at MoMA, is a work that stands as an extension of the biomorphic sculptures he was exploring at the time. The key lies in the balance between sculptural form and everyday function! Of course, the table I bought isn't the real Noguchi (haha), but even as an homage item, it looks quite similar, doesn't it?
