T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings Biomorphic cocktail table w Interesting Anecdote of Isamu Noguchi.
Cocktail table designed by T.H. Robsjohn Gibbings for Widdcomb constructed of solid carved maple sculptural base and biomorphic glass top.
If you have not read the story of the infamous meeting between T.H. Robsjohn Gibbings and Isamu Noguchi you should, it would be worth your time. Shortly after Noguchi created the sculpted wood and glass coffee table in 1939 for the president of the MOMA, Conger Goodyear, he had a chance meeting in Hawaii with Gibbings and provided Gibbings a plastic mockup of a coffee table but never heard back from him.

Robsjohn Gibbings' design. He contacted the British designer asking for compensation and was basically dismissed being told "anyone can design a three leg coffee table...
