noguchi cyclone™ tables Designed by Isamu Noguchi, 1955 The son of an American writer and a Japanese poet, Isamu Noguchi was born in Los Angeles in 1904. He spent his childhood in Japan and his adolescence in America. Noguchi’s fascination with art began while he was a pre-med student at Columbia University. A Guggenheim Fellowship in 1927 took him to Paris, where he worked in Brancusi’s atelier. Noguchi’s interests were as wide ranging as his travels: He designed visionary sets and costumes for the Martha Graham Dance Company and New York City Ballet, furniture and objects for a variety of manufacturers, the Akari lamps and a myriad environments, site installations and large-scale public sculptures of great note. The Noguchi Garden Museum in Long Island City, New York, is a repository of his work. Conceived in 1953 as a rocking stool made of metal wire and wood, the playful object evolved into a companion piece to the Bertoia wire children’s chair. At the suggestion of Hans Knoll, the Noguchi small table was enlarged to full size in 1957. Meticulously produced to Noguchi's original drawings, the table's sculptural base consists of a column of chrome-plate steel wires set into a black cast iron base. The 0.8 inch thick table top is black or white laminate with a natural birch edge.
