Freeform Sofa, Isamu Noguchi, 1946
Freeform Sofa and Ottoman, 1946
The Japanese-American designer and sculptor Isamu Noguchi approached
the task of furniture design with the organic aesthetic of his sculptural work
in mind. This is also evident in his Freeform Sofa, which appears like a large,
flatly rounded river stone that has been smoothed by centuries of running
water. The fluid, graceful shape of this slender sofa distinguishes it clearly
from other designs of the time. It has a sculptural presence in any room –
iconic yet reserved.
