Isamu Noguchi (1904 – 1988) was a Japanese American that has produced many works of art across multiple mediums. His love was sculpture and design. His designs were sculptural forms of furniture, lighting, ceramics, furniture, gardens, and set design. His sculptures were made of stainless steel, marble, cast iron, balsawood, bronze, sheet aluminum, basalt, granite, mulberry bark paper, bamboo, and water. Isamu Noguchi was extremely talented across the Arts. He initially studied premed, however after being enrolled in sculpture classes; he decided to drop out of medical school and study sculpture full time. At the urging of his mother, he enrolled at the Leonardo da Vinci School of Art in New York City. He was first recognized in the U.S. after being commissioned for the Associated Press Building. His cast stainless steel Art Deco plaque depicted journalists at work. His sculpture was installed in 1940 above the entrance to the Associated Press Building at 50 Rockefeller Center. Noguchi had his hand in designing playgrounds, plazas, fountains, and gardens, sculptures, furniture, and lighting designs. He loved the idea of creating sculpture that the public can enjoy. His creations are influenced by Surrealism, Biomorphism, and Abstract Expressionism. He was very well traveled and was also influenced by Eastern cultures. Nocuchi’s furniture and lighting designs are now available to everyone in like form, some of which are carried by EZMODFURNITURE.COM.

Social clubs are, largely, things of the past.  In decades past, social clubs served as swanky places where wealthy socialites, especially men, went to smoke, have a few drink, mingle and take a break from work or family life.  Today’s social gatherings tend to feature less tobacco and alcohol, but they can still be just as glamorous—it all depends on the décor.  If you are hosting an upscale party and want your home or office to have that mid-century modern furniture look and feel, then look no farther than EZ Mod Furniture’s Taft  Microfiber Club Chair.  With all the styling of 1950s and 1960s modern classic furniture, these chairs are sure to give your party room just the right touch.

Who doesn’t love a good rocking chair?  Something about the rhythmic motion has an unparalleled ability to quickly put us at ease and relax.  In fact, the only thing that most rocking chairs lack is a little bit of style.  Most rocking chairs today are made from wood, many of them padded in various ways, and some even “glide” back and forth on sealed ball bearing mechanisms.  Most of them look padded and comfy—perfect for a nursery.  But what if you want a grown up rocking chair for just you--something, perhaps with more of a modern classic design?  Look no farther than EZ Mod Furniture’s molded plastic rocking chairs.

Painstakingly reproduced from the original designs by renowned modern furniture design team Charles and Ray Eames, this rocking chair offers some much-needed design updates to an old favorite.  The Eameses married in 1941 and quickly set up their own design studio in Venice, California.  As some of the most famous modern furniture designers, their creations were known for clean, structured lines and the innovative use of materials.  Originally constructed of a fiberglass curved shell, EZ Mod Furniture has even updated the manufacturing process of this wonderful chair by constructing it out of recycled polypropylene.  The contoured shell is supported by an attractive framework of chrome steel tubing and attached to solid ash wood pieces for a smooth rocking motion.  The seat features a “waterfall” edge to correctly accommodate the angle of your knees and legs, as well as molded armrests and a high, comfortable back.  EZ Mod Furniture features this icon of modern classic furniture design in four cheerful colors to match any room’s color scheme:  red, green, white and light blue, all in a matte finish.  Unlike rocking chairs with upholstered padding, the simplicity of the design, construction and materials of the Eames rocker makes it exceptionally easy to clean.  Simply wipe with a wet cloth.

EZ Mod Furniture not only brings you quality reproductions of a modern classic item such as the Eames molded plastic rocking chair, but they do so at price that won’t bust your budget.  While many modern furniture retailers would sell this rocking chair for as much as $380, EZ Mod Furniture offers it at the much more budget-friendly price point of just $159.99.  If you are looking for high quality reproductions of some of modern furniture design’s most exciting pieces at prices you can afford, look no farther than EZ Mod Furniture.

A look inside Isamu Noguchi

4/11/11 4:39 PM

One of the reasons Ezmod furniture can provide cutting edge modern classic furniture is because we invest time and energy into finding furniture designed by trend setting individuals.  For example, a number of our pieces (including the Tribeca Coffee Table) were designed by Isamu Noguchi, a world famous architect from the 20th Century.

Born n 1904, Noguchi was a Japanese American artist and landscape architect whose career spanned six decades, beginning in the 1920's.  While widely known for his sculptures and public art, he spent a great deal of time designing modern classic furniture for various Martha Graham productions.  There is actually a museum dedicated to his work in New York City, The Noguchi Museum, which displays his various pieces of art.

Noguchi's work influenced, or was influenced by, a number of artistic movements, including:  expressionism; surrealism; 20th century abstract art; and much more.  The Tribeca Coffee Table on sale at www.ezmodfurniture.com is a perfect example of the type of modern classic furniture that Noguchi spent his life designing.

Noguchi Awards and Notable Moments

 - He designed the sets and costumes for a controversial theater production of King Lear

 - He was elected to membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1962.

 - He was elected as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1971.

At Ezmod, we work hard to find designers whose modern classic furniture will fit perfectly with our collection and with what we know our customers are interested in.  The Tribeca Coffee Table is sturdy, possesses aunique design and is perfect for any living, office or other living space.  This is just one of the pieces of modern classic furniture we offer that is designed by a renowned artist, architect or designer.  Instead of paying thousands of dollars for high-end furniture with a name designer, you can go to www.ezmodfurniture.com and find Noguchi designed furniture at an amazing price.

The Butterfly Bentwood Chair is the epitome of simplicity and functionality; it blends Eastern influences with the classic designs of Charles and Ray Eames. The simple, Eastern influence of this chair allows this chair to be minimalistic, but the concise bending of plywood that Charles and Ray Eames made famous make this chair strong and sturdy.

The chair was originally designed by Sori Yanagi in 1954 and features a silhouette that is reminiscent of butterfly wings. The two L-shaped rosewood sections of the chair combine to form the chair and are held in place by a metal rod in the center that ensures that the chair is sturdy and reliable. The precise plywood bending technique used to make this chair is effective in making the chair strong and ensures that it can be used for years to come.

This chair is the perfect fusion of Eastern and Western influences converging to form a modern classic furniture piece that is truly unique. The Western influences shine through in the form of the chair, the stool and in the material that is used to create the chair, bentwood. And, even though this chair was largely absent from traditional Japanese furniture, it features a defining Asian calligraphic simplicity that caters to furniture minimalists.

Ezmod Furniture offers a high-quality reproduction of the original Butterfly Stool by Yanagi called the Butterfly Bentwood Chair. While the list price of the original stool is $620, we offer this high-quality reproduction of this unique chair for only $95.99, saving you more than $500.

We also offer high-quality reproductions of some of the most famous and well-known modern classic furniture designs of the past century. Our reproductions are almost identical to the originals, but are offered to you at substantially lower prices than the originals and other lesser quality reproductions from our competitors.

Be sure to visit our site at www.ezmodfurniture.com to check out our beautiful and elegant Butterfly Bentwood Chair as well as our expansive collection of modern classic furniture. We cater to different tastes in furniture design and decoration needs for any room, living space or office. Our reproductions are based on some of the most well-known designs in modern classic furniture and, like the Butterfly Bentwood Chair, are the perfect way to add a modern feel to any room. Our site allows you to browse through dozens of modern classic furniture pieces and look at photos and descriptions of each and every piece we have available.
