Isamu Noguchi Glass Coffee Table Replicas
The original Isamu glass coffee table design (also called the Noguchi coffee table) was created in the 1940’s by Japanese-American artists-architect Isamu Noguchi, whose sculpture and modern furniture pieces are not only displayed in the Noguchi Museum in New York, but also sold through contemporary furniture dealers.
The most celebrated of the architectural glass coffee table designs, were produced for the Herman Miller company. To this day, authentic pieces of Noguchi furniture are accessible to everyone, not just collectors, but the prices make them most popular amongst decorators with sizeable budgets. An authentic Noguchi glass coffee table (designed for Herman Miller – from the 1942 prototypes to pieces from the 1950’s), that consist of a two-part modular tripod-like base with a slab of glass, retails for about $1,400. Therefore it’s not surprising that affordable Noguchi glass coffee table replicas have entered the home decorating scene.

Matching a Glass Console Table to Noguchi Replicas
Due to the singular design of Noguchi pieces, finding a tall glass console table to match is difficult. Although, having one Isamu Noguchi piece is enough to create a focal point, there’s a console we suggest that can be used in the same space and keeps with the contemporary theme of glass and wood.
The Acme Glass Console Table (sofa table) is available online and ships through Visiondecor Furniture for about $125. This contemporary glass sofa table has an X designed for its wooden base and a transparent glass top. The length of the console is 52 inches (from end to end), the glass is 18 inches from front to back, and the unit is 29 inches high.
