Questions About Noguchi 1a
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Yes, 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Noguchi’s iconic Akari Light Sculptures are available directly through Noguchi’s own shop. Vintage editions of the lamps are available online through many different retailers and platforms, including on 1stDibs. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary Isamu Noguchi pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Noguchi lamps are made using the inner bark of a Mulberry tree. Washi paper is then cut into strips and glued onto both sides of the bamboo-ribbed framework. You’ll find a selection of Noguchi lamps from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How 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, 2023
    The 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Isamu Noguchi made the Noguchi table. The Japanese artist and designer created the Modernist glass-top table in 1947. Today, Herman Miller continues to manufacture tables based on his design. Shop a range of Noguchi tables from top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    The 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, 2022
    To 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. Consult the brand’s website to compare exact proper dimensions since fakes will often be a little off. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly-vetted Noguchi furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To authenticate your Noguchi coffee table, there are three different marks to look for. Isamu Noguchi’s signature will be on the edge of the table and on a medallion under the base. Even under the medallion, you will find Noguchi’s initials. Shop a collection of properly vetted Noguchi pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The original Noguchi table is made in four different color options: black, white oak, white ash and walnut. These color options apply to the base of the table, which is made of wood. The top is made of clear glass.The table was designed in 1948 by Isamu Noguchi for the legendary furniture maker Herman Miller. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Noguchi tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The right table to go with a Noguchi sofa is really a matter of preference. Noguchi’s own iconic coffee table is a common pairing for their freeform sofas. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a large collection of vintage and contemporary Isamu Noguchi furniture from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Genuine Noguchi tables weigh around 155 pounds. An iconic style since the 1940s, new examples of Isamu Noguchi’s tables are available from a number of different vendors. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary Noguchi furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Styling 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The wooden base of Noguchi coffee tables are available in multiple finishes such as black, walnut and natural cherry for color matching with your floor. Placing a rug underneath the table will also change the color dynamic. On 1stDibs, find vintage and contemporary Noguchi coffee tables from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There is no one proper way to place chairs around a Noguchi coffee table. Your ideal placement will depend on the space you’re using and the chairs that you’ve chosen. In 1944, Noguchi created the first version of his classic glass-topped coffee table as a riff on a piece he designed for former MoMA president, A. Conger Goodyear, a few years earlier. Legendary Michigan manufacturer Herman Miller began to produce the design in 1948. On 1stDibs, find a number of Isamu Noguchi coffee tables from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    Lots of things have happened to 1stDibs! We are a leading online marketplace for extraordinary design. Since 2000, we have captured the magic of the Paris flea market, connecting those seeking the most beautiful things on earth with highly coveted sellers and makers in furniture and home decor, art, fine jewelry and fashion.


    The first couple of decades in the history of our global e-commerce platform have been busy. In 2003, 1stDibs moved to New York City and added dealers from the New York metropolitan area. We launched Introspective, the official magazine of 1stDibs dedicated to uncovering and illuminating the stories behind designs as well as their creators.


    In the ensuing years, 1stDibs added verticals for art, fine jewelry and fashion and launched dealers in the United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia and elsewhere. In 2016, we transitioned from our position as a listings site to an e-commerce model, and five years later, 1stDibs went public. The company’s common stock has been approved for listing and is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “DIBS.” 


    With the arrival of Auctions in 2021, 1stDibs now enables guests to place bids on their favorite items — spanning furniture, home decor, art, fine jewelry, watches, handbags and fashion — offering the thrill associated with a treasure hunt and winning a beloved item at an exceptional price.
