Among the first items displayed inside the entrance to Newfields' exhibit of Twentieth Century design are this table and chair, shown in front of a large photo of the conversation pit of the Miller House, a Mid-Century Modern home designed by architect Eero Saarinen in 1953 for Columbus, Indiana industrialist J. Erwin Miller and his Wife, Xenia.
Isamu Noguchi designed the No. 311 Dining Table table on the left in 1953, which was produced by Knoll Associates, which, of course, manufactures Harry Bertoia's iconic Diamond Lounge chair, designed by him in 1952.
I have a knock-off of the chair that I find comfortable and would love to have a real one, with bright blue upholstery. *Sigh.*
