Mid-Century Modern Noguchi Style Oval Glass Coffee Table

About the Item

This 1950s biomorphic coffee table, in the style of Isamu Noguchi, was nicknamed the "Airplane Table," for its interlocking bent oak plywood base. reminiscent of the style popularized by Noguchi in the 1950s, it's a striking piece of mid-century modern furniture known colloquially as the "Airplane Table." This nickname likely comes from its distinctive interlocking bent oak plywood base, which evokes the sleek lines and dynamic shapes often associated with aircraft design of the era. Topping the base is an oval glass surface, which serves as both a functional tabletop and a showcase for the elegant design below. The transparency of the glass allows the eye to appreciate the intricate details of the base while also providing a practical surface for placing drinks, books, or other items.
