This table has a clear sculptural look, which is a fitting impression as it is made in the style of a design by the renowned American/Japanese sculptor, Isamu Noguchi. He had developed his own particular style of sculpture in the 1920s. In the 1930s, he drew acclaim for several important public-works sculptures produced for the Associated Press building in New York. By this time he had also turned his skills to designing ceramics,lighting ,and furniture,and in 1947, Noguchi’s IN-50 glass table was first manufactured.
The table illustrated above reproduces the style of the Noguchi IN-50. As a lifestyle choice, the combination of good quality and design does not have to be overly expensive. To see more you can continue to read at the website of Vita-interiors.com

For the many uses to which this stylishly designed side table can be put, it deserves a good look.Its futuristic lines belies the fact that it was designed in the 1920s! The creator Eileen Gray was an Irish furniture designer and architect whose best work probably spanned the periods of the two World Wars, in the first half of the twentieth century.
Gray was the designer of the famous Bibendum chair ,and so much else during a very long working life. Many of her original works have become highly sought after antiques of the twentieth century in the auction room commanding very high prices. While these may be hard to come by, you can enjoy the side table styled on the E1027 modernist furniture classic.
Made of toughened glass and tubular steel, the table is versatile as a bedroom side table, cocktail or coffee table, and would work in home or office. When looking for competitive pricing,visit this website, for an opportunity of owning a reproduction of this modern furniture classic.
