How do I tell if a Noguchi table is genuine?
1 Answer
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.

Early Isamu Noguchi Table for Herman Miller, 1950s
By Isamu Noguchi
Located in Seattle, WA
An early Noguchi IN50 coffee table with the original green glass, early 1950s. black base with pantina matching age, straight pin ( later pins has locking fins). moderate scratches on the glass, as seen in the last few photos
Authenticity- this table is guaranteed authentic by a number of defining characteristics:
1 ) the distinctive contour of the sculpted base, including the subtle concavity along the long axis of each piece so that light can be seen underneath the center, and that the top balances on two points of the downward pointing piece, not its entire length.
2) solid aluminum pin with no locking fins compared to new examples
3) thick green glass top with ribbon edge
