Our coffee table arrived this afternoon. Darren and I lugged it up from the parking garage after returning from the park with Beauty the wonder dog. Ellie was quick to hop up and investigate the new piece of furniture but Mabel decided her time was better spent napping in the re-upholstered chair she uses as her personal scratching post. <grumble, grumble>Here's what the folks at Herman Miller say about the Noguchi table: "His [Isamu Noguchi] table joins a curved, solid wood base with a freeform glass top. The ethereal result does not dimish the practical design; a sturdy and durable table. This balance of sculptural form and everyday function has made the Noguchi table an understated and beautiful element in homes and offices since its introduction in 1948."
