Herman Miller USA, 1949 birch, steel 50 w x 35 d x 26 h in (127 x 89 x 66 cm)
Composed of four reductivist elements, the Rudder table is a study in simplicity and organic form.
Noguchi assembled an ovoid top, two parabolic legs and a curved birch fin into a functional sculpture. Because of its uncommon form, the table never achieved broad popularity by the post-war public and was produced for only a short time. literature: Isamu Noguchi: Sculptural Design , Vitra Design Museum, pg. 121
