Conceived in 1953 as a rocking chair 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. Reintroduced by Knoll in collaboration with the Noguchi Foundation, the design is now being meticulously produced from Noguchi's original drawings. The sculptural base consists of a column of chrome-plated steel wires set into a cast-iron black porcelain-finished foot. The table is available in dining and side-table heights, the top is available in white or black laminate.
