noguchi cyclone wire base dining table 42

The Noguchi Cyclone table was conceived in 1953 as a rocking stool made of metal wire and wood. Noguchi's playful object was manufactured the following year in varying sizes, and later evolved into a table that became a companion piece to the Bertoia wire children's chair. At the suggestion of Hans knoll, Noguchi's small table was enlarged to full size in 1957. The sculptural base consists of a column of chrome-plated steel wires set into a cast-iron black porcelain-finished foot.
