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.
