A Hidden Isamu Noguchi-Designed Ceiling Inside a U-Haul

U-Haul recently exposed a hidden Isamu Noguchi-designed ceiling at one if its branches in St Louis, Missouri. Created by the artist back in the 1940s, the sculptural ceiling was later hidden by partitions and other paneling about 20 years ago, with just a plaster mold of the design viewable at the St Louis Art Museum. “It’s something that needed to be shown,” stated Stephen Langford, the president of U-Haul St Louis. Now, the real thing is open for all the public to see in its natural environment.
