Noguchi

Mr. Z and I took a little bike trip over to Queens this past weekend to eat some Middle Eastern food and check out the Noguchi Museum.  I must admit, I only associated Mr. Noguchi with his famous coffee table (pictured below).  Little did I know that most of his work consisted of stone and metal sculpture.  I did however, see the correlations of his simple geometric aesthetic and perfect function through all of his work.  The museum space was amazing!  It incorporated concrete and wood interiors with an outdoor rock garden.  Hopefully sometime in the near future I can snag one of his tables.... and plant a birch tree.  Hmmm...
