My latest tutorial on Psdtuts+ is out! How To Create A Swanky Coffee Table Icon In Photoshop is a simple, elegant Photoshop tutorial for intermediate users that teaches you how to create Isamu Noguchi’s 1944 classic coffee table.

Product designers will instantly recognize Isamu Noguchi’s 1944 classic coffee table. Like all great designs it’s extemely simple, consisting of only three elements. The shapes, as usual with Noguchi’s work, have a strong organic feel.
This is the ultimate coffee table, unless of course you own this!

The tutorial focuses on rather uninvolved paths and layer effects. The only tricky part is when I have you combine paths to add thickness to the legs. Even simple objects require attention to details.
I’ll post here some screenshots but you’ll have to head over to Psdtuts+ for the full tutorial.

I hope you like it!
