Louisiana Museum of Modern Art Isamu Noguchi is best remembered for monolithic stone sculptures, ethereal paper lights and organic furniture designs. Lesser known is the fact that he created the first baby monitor. ‘Radio Nurse’, as it was tagged, was commissioned by the Zenith Radio Corporation in the 1930s, to allow parents to better keep track of their infants following the notorious Lindbergh kidnapping. Made out of Bakelite – an early form of plastic – the device was shaped like an inverted water drop, with a horizontal grille that recalled Japanese kendo masks and a caped back reminiscent of a traditional nurse’s headdress. Its distinctive form earned it a spot at the Whitney Museum’s annual sculpture exhibition in 1939.
