Conger Goodyear, President of the Museum of Modern Art. It’s a simple, beautiful design made of glass with ashwood or solid walnut legs. It’s an anthropomorphic table with a freeform, put into production in the early 1950s. The Noguchi Coffee Table was originally designed in 1944 and is a simple, yet beautiful design is made of only three pieces – a glass top, and two joining wood pieces for the base.
