The sculptural expressiveness of Noguchi’s work is evident in the Freeform Sofa, a design unlike any other of its time. Combined with the Ottoman, it forms a sculptural ensemble reminiscent of large boulders. Its stylized, organic forms are elegant and fluid. Noguchi enhances the lightness of the pieces with fine, comfortable padding, for which he chose fabrics in natural colors. The Freeform Sofa and Ottoman were produced around 1950 in a limited series. The few original pieces that remain from that series now fetch extremely high prices at auction. In 2002, the Vitra Design Museum began producing the set as an authentic reissue. The Freeform Sofa is suitable not only for living rooms but also for lobbies, hotels, and shops.
