Ironically, the reason Noguchi has not shown more often is that he is too busy. Long an architects' favorite, he has been swamped with commissions in recent years, including statues and gardens for Connecticut General's new offices near Hartford, Conn.

Swedish granite originally designed for Manhattan's Lever House (the budget ran out) and a torchlike form in Greek marble, planned as a 30-ft, focal point for the International Arrivals building at Idlewild Airport (the New York Port Authority turned it down).

The swatches of material designed by Richard Riemerschmid would fit wonderfully in a modern interior. The chair and three-legged table by Hector Guimard, the leader of the Parisian branch of the international Art Nouveau movement, combine tasteful flourishes with beautifully smooth wood surfaces and simple, elegant forms.
