One of the most recognized and enduring designs in mid-century modern furniture — a sculptural pairing of two interlocking solid walnut pieces supporting a freeform glass top, conceived by Noguchi to dissolve the boundary between sculpture and furniture.

AUTHENTICATION
This piece carries both authentication marks of an authentic licensed Noguchi:
• Etched "Isamu Noguchi" signature on the edge of the glass top (in his original handwriting)
• Isamu Noguchi Foundation authorization medallion on the wooden base

PROVENANCE
Purchased new from Room & Board in 2012. Original purchase documentation available upon request.

SPECIFICATIONS
• Designer: Isamu Noguchi
• Manufacturer: Herman Miller (under Noguchi Foundation license)
• Model: IN-50
• Dimensions: 50" W x 36" D x 15.75" H
• Base: Solid walnut (medium tone)
• Top: ¾" thick freeform tempered glass

CONDITION
Excellent vintage condition with light wear consistent with 13 years of careful household use. Please see condition photos for transparency: minor surface scuffs on the glass top visible only in raking light, and light wear on one corner of the wooden base. Both authentication marks are clearly visible and intact. Structurally sound — solid wood base, glass top intact with no chips or cracks.
The IN-50 has been in continuous production for over 80 years and remains the gold standard for sculptural mid-century coffee tables. Equally at home in a contemporary minimalist interior, a true mid-century modern setting, or a transitional space that calls for one statement piece.
