Isamu Noguchi designed a number of gardens, lamps an furniture as well. Many of his lamp and furniture designs are still manufactured today. His work with George Nelson, Charles Eames and Paul Laszlo during the late 1940s have become legendary in the world of modern furniture.

Informed by nature, his highly abstract and sculptural furniture designs were often intended to express the essence of natural landscape. Isamu Noguchi's designs, such as the Isamu Noguchi Ottoman, are reflections of the artists struggle to see, alter, and recreate his natural surroundings.
