Prismatic Table, Three-tone light grey

Developed in 1957 the Prismatic Table was the first series-produced furniture from the American-Japanese designer Isamu Noguchi and is now distributed by Vitra. As with his other designs Noguchi combines in the extravagant side table elements of traditional Japanese craft, specifically here Japanese folding techniques. Thin, coated aluminium sheet is folded into three pyramidal bodies each of which act as a table leg and which are connected to an hexagonal table top. The result is a simple table, yet one whose strict, geometric reduction sets clear accents, and quite minimalist tone.
