In the store: Noguchi transformation

Some of you may recall our acquisition a couple of months ago of a very rare early Noguchi child's rocking stool. Here it is as we found it, photographed in front of street art near the store.

While I loved it exactly as it was, the decision was made to have it restored, since many of our customers like a somewhat less "rode hard and put up wet" look, to use a common expression from the Texas vernacular. Here is the Noguchi stool, reborn and ready for many more decades of use.
