- Is the Noguchi table stable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Yes, the Noguchi table is stable due to the unique design of the base. Its two parts lock together, creating a tripod that ensures stability beneath the gleaming glass top while lending the table an open, weightless quality. In 1944, Isamu Noguchi created the first version of his classic coffee table as a riff on a piece he designed for former MoMA president, A. Conger Goodyear, five years earlier. According to design lore, industrial designer, journalist and Herman Miller design director George Nelson visited Noguchi while working on an article titled “How to Make a Table” and found him at work on a prototype for the piece that would become the Noguchi coffee table, which was later produced by Herman Miller. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Noguchi tables.
- Where can I buy a Noguchi lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Noguchi’s iconic Akari Light Sculptures are available directly through Noguchi’s own shop.

- How can I tell real Noguchi?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How to tell real Noguchi pieces depends on what they are. Most vintage Noguci furniture and lighting does not have a mark, and counterfeiters often reproduce them. As a result, it’s best to enlist the help of an experienced and licensed appraiser to determine authenticity. On 1stDibs, find a collection of expertly vetted Noguchi furniture, decorative objects and lighting.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023The signature on a Noguchi table is on the glass top, usually along an edge. On many pieces, the signature also appears on the underside of the base, along with the Herman Miller brand logo. Find a collection of Noguchi tables on 1stDibs.
- Who made the Noguchi table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Isamu Noguchi made the Noguchi table. The Japanese artist and designer created the Modernist glass-top table in 1947.

- What is a Noguchi table made of?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023The Noguchi table is made out of wood and plate glass. A sculptor, painter, ceramicist and furniture and lighting designer, Isamu Noguchi was one of the most prolific and protean creative forces of the 20th century and a key figure in the development of organic modernism. Noguchi’s sculptures and designs share a common spirit: one of lyrical abstraction, tempo and flow and harmonious balance. Comprising just two materials, wood and glass, the coffee table is visually complex yet ingenious in its simplicity. Two interlocking, identical wood pieces act as the base of Noguchi’s design, and they’re covered with a glass top. Due to the base’s asymmetrical form, the table looks different from any angle — and the clear top ensures that no angle is ever obscured. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Isamu Noguchi tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To authenticate a Noguchi table, first look for the signature of Isamu Noguchi on the table’s edge and base. Next, check the wood to see if it’s made of solid hardwood.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To authenticate your Noguchi coffee table, there are three different marks to look for.

Shop a collection of properly vetted Noguchi pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The original Noguchi table is made in four different color options: black, white oak, white ash and walnut.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Styling a Noguchi coffee table really depends on the space you’re placing it in. The possibilities are far-reaching, so consider the colors and coordination of the other furniture and fixtures around the table. Noguchi tables look beautiful on their own or styled with flowers, books or pottery. Shop a selection of Isamu Noguchi pieces on 1stDibs.
