A Big Happy Birthday to Isamu Noguchi (pronounced sämoo nogooch) who was born today, 17th November 1904 and would have been 106 years old!
Isamu Noguchi was a Japanese, American sculptor and designer whose artistic career spanned six decades, from the 1920s onward . He sought to make sculpture useful in everyday life. Amoung his furniture work, his collaboration with the Herman Miller company in 1948 where he joined forces with George Nelson, Paul László and Charles Eames is considered to be the most influential body of modern furniture.
