Isamu Noguchi Bio:

Isamu Noguchi differs from many of the other famous designers of the 20th century in that instead of coming from an architectural background, Noguchi was in fact a trained sculptor. Noguchi's sculptural training can be seen in everything he created, from gardens, stage sets, lighting and of course furniture designs. An American-Japanese designer, Noguchi created many of the iconic furniture designs of the 20th century!
