Know before you buy
The table arrives in two separate packages and requires assembly. While it is straightforward, the glass top is heavy, so we recommend having a second person assist you when placing it onto the base.
The base is engineered for exceptional stability. The two interlocking solid wood pieces create a secure, self-supporting tripod that provides a firm foundation for the heavy tempered glass top.
Every authentic Herman Miller Noguchi Table features Isamu Noguchi’s signature etched into the glass top and a metal medallion attached to the base, ensuring its provenance and quality.
Yes, the table features a 3/4-inch thick tempered glass top. This material is highly durable and designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use in a living room environment.
The base is available in several finishes, including Walnut, White Ash, White Oak, and Noguchi Black. We recommend considering the wood tones of your existing furniture to ensure a cohesive look, as the natural grain variations in the wood will be visible.
The table measures 50 inches wide by 36 inches deep. Because of its free-form, organic shape, we suggest placing it in an area where you can walk around it comfortably, ideally leaving at least 18 inches of clearance between the table and your sofa or chairs.
