Birch, steel

Composed of four reductivist elements, the Rudder Fin table is a study in simplicity and organic form. Noguchi assembled an ovoid top, two parabolic legs and a curved birch fin into a functional sculpture. Because of its uncommon form, the Rudder Fin table never achieved broad popularity by the post-war public and was produced for only a short time.
