How Much is a Noguchi Glass Table?
Finding the Right Coffee-tables-cocktail-tables for You
As a practical focal point in your living area, antique and vintage coffee tables and cocktail tables are an invaluable addition to any interior.
Low tables that were initially used as tea tables or coffee tables have been around since at least the mid- to late-1800s. Early coffee tables surfaced in Victorian-era England, likely influenced by the use of tea tables in Japanese tea gardens. In the United States, furniture makers worked to introduce low, long tables into their offerings as the popularity of coffee and “coffee breaks” took hold during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
It didn’t take long for coffee tables and cocktail tables to become a design staple and for consumers to recognize their role in entertaining no matter what beverages were being served. Originally, these tables were as simple as they are practical — as high as your sofa and made primarily of wood. In recent years, however, metal, glass and plastics have become popular in coffee tables and cocktail tables, and design hasn’t been restricted to the conventional low profile, either.
Visionary craftspeople such as Paul Evans introduced bold, geometric designs that challenge the traditional idea of what a coffee table can be. The elongated rectangles and wide boxy forms of Evans’s desirable Cityscape coffee table, for example, will meet your needs but undoubtedly prove imposing in your living space.
If you’re shopping for an older coffee table to bring into your home — be it an antique Georgian-style coffee table made of mahogany or walnut with decorative inlays or a classic square mid-century modern piece comprised of rosewood designed by the likes of Ettore Sottsass — there are a few things you should keep in mind.
Both the table itself and what you put on it should align with the overall design of the room, not just by what you think looks fashionable in isolation. According to interior designer Tamara Eaton, the material of your vintage coffee table is something you need to consider. “With a glass coffee table, you also have to think about the surface underneath, like the rug or floor,” she says. “With wood and stone tables, you think about what’s on top.”
Find the perfect centerpiece for any room, no matter what your personal furniture style on 1stDibs — shop Art Deco coffee tables, travertine coffee tables and other antique and vintage coffee tables and cocktail tables today.
- 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.
- 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. 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.
- 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 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, 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, 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.

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, 2022The 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.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There 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 ExpertJune 30, 2023With a glass table, avoid putting anything on top heavier than the recommended weight capacity of the table. Items with rough or sharp bottoms could scratch glass.

- Are glass coffee tables durable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Whether glass coffee tables are durable depends on the craftsmanship and the materials.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023Whether a glass table is better for small spaces is largely a matter of personal opinion.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023You can substitute a number of things for a glass table top. Try painted wood, marble or sheet metal. To decide what to use, consider the overall style of your room and the other types of materials featured in the space. Shop a selection of tables from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The most preferred type of glass for a coffee table is tempered glass. In case of a mishap, this type of glass will fracture into small pieces. One-half inch thick glass is the most popular for coffee tables. 1stDibs offers different antique, vintage and new glass coffee tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best thickness for a glass table top depends on usage. If the glass is used just as a cover, then ¼-inch thick glass is likely good enough. If the glass will be used is as a table surface, then you should choose the thickness of the glass according to the size of the table. If the glass used is supporting heavy items, or its size is more than 24 inches, then choose glass that is thicker than ¼ inch. Thicker glass will feel and look more substantial, but thicker glass becomes heavier with increasing size. On 1stDibs, find antique and vintage glass-top dining room tables, glass-top coffee tables, side tables and more.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Whether a glass or acrylic coffee table is better is a matter of personal preference.

How carefully a coffee table is crafted also impacts its quality and longevity. On 1stDibs, shop a range of coffee tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, you should put glass on top of your dining table to minimize scratches and wear. Glass allows you to see the beauty of the wood while protecting it from everyday wear.
