A small table made of glass and wood, designed by Noguchi, is an excellent example of how art can enter a person’s daily life. This sophisticated item, made with ingenious simplicity, combines a smooth glass surface and a natural wood texture. The designer did not use paint and additional decorations for his work, allowing the natural component to play a major role in this composition. For all its beauty and elegance, this piece of furniture is quite convenient and functional, so Noguchi’s tables can be found not only in museums but also in private households around the world.
