Modern Furniture Design (Isamu Noguchi)

Isamu Noguchi's influence on Modern Furniture
Every design is different, and every designer is different. For some, the beauty of  is that it is offered in 100 colours. Others would never consider using  in anything other than white.
 Its colour palette includes whites, neutrals, pastels, earthy hues, dark and black tones and bright solids. Some colours are offered with interesting aesthetics – such as veining, ‘lustra’ or added translucency - or with varying degrees of graining.
 And if more choice is needed, DuPont offers a custom colour service, allowing designers to match, exactly, a customer’s corporate colour scheme, or devise an original colour for a specific design.

Furniture influence by Isamu Noguchi is still seen in today's products. Born in Los Angeles in 1904, Noguchi spent the majority of his life in America and Japan. An early life experience which later lead to sculpture and furniture design began in Chigasaki, Japan in 1913 where he began an apprenticeship as a carpenter's aid. At the early age of almost nine he began working with his hands to create things.In the summer of 1922 Isamu began an apprenticeship with sculptor Gutzon Borglum in Connecticut. In 1924 he took evening classes in sculpture at the Leonardo Da Vanci Art School. His talent was recognized early and in 1927 he won the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship which allowed him to travel to Paris and Europe and further refine his skills.

Stylish Furniture - Table

Okay - so maybe not a beehive coffee table, but you can see how the design would translate to a pretty amazing coffee table design. Designer Hoon Roh is one of those interesting designers that look to nature for inspiration in regard to design and function. Bees are pretty amazing insects and this table really reflects that.
