Herman Miller USA, c.
1949 birch, steel 50 w x 35½ d x 26¾ h in (127 x 90 x 68 cm)
Composed of four reductivist elements, the Rudder Fin 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 Rudder Fin table never achieved broad popularity by the post-war public and was produced for only a short time.
