In the store: Noguchi rocking stool

Designed by Isamu Noguchi in 1954, these stools were produced by Knoll for only 5 years. Hans Knoll had Noguchi adapt the design for side tables in that same year, and the full-sized Cyclone dining table went into production in 1957.

We have one of these very rare early rocking stools in our store now. To say that it has a patina would be an understatement, but I think the wear on this particular piece gives it remarkable character. I hope my SIL doesn't plan to have it restored. I love it just the way it is.
