Eighties ‘IN-50’ Isamu Noguchi Coffee Table with original glass.  
80s version by Herman Miller- not signed at that time. 
 
This coffee table was Isamu Noguchi's (1904-1988) favourite design achievement, certainly because it shared many caracteristics with his art work. He considered the table as a useful sculpture.
Designed in 1939 for MoMA’s president, he re-worked the original sketches in 1944 to create a new organic structure. the base of the table is composed by 2 identical pieces made of solid wood, that can be moved to a right-angle, and a heavy glass top.
 
Two identical pieces of  black curved wood form the base which has a fabulous patina. 
 
In good original condition with age appropriate wear with moderate scratches on glass. 2 minor chips (see images). 
 
Black lacquered
Base 38 cm high
Glass 19 mm
