Correct Isamo Noguchi coffee table model

Interior designers I hired have just proposed some first visualizations. One of the first thing I liked about them was using the Isamu Noguchi coffee table. Since in parallel I was trying do play with interior visualizations using the free Blender+Yafaray combo I tried to find quality models of this classic piece of furniture. Quite quickly I found the Herman Miller website listing of this table, which also provides 3d models for the items they sell. I downloaded it, converted to OBJ (using terrific BABEL3D service) and loaded it into Blender. All seemed fine until I found out that the model sported by Herman Miller staff is not quite what is being shown on the attached photos. The key is the legs alignment. The supplied model has them arranged perpendicular, whilst the photos suggest more acute angle. As it turned out I was right - the assembly instruction provided by the same Herman Miller shows very precisely that the legs are arranged with a 52-degree angle between them. So what is going on here you may ask ? As I did some more search there are two versions of the model present on the internet, free ones (probably based on the very same free model provided by Herman Miller) have perpendicular legs, the one you can only buy (e.g. on turbosquid, or here or here) have the legs arranged correctly. Weird... So what I did was I took the incorrect Herman Miller model, took the legs apart and arranged them just as they should be. The result, despite a freehand approach, proved to give quite a satisfactory result. I'll try to attach the rendering results soon, just as the used model. Stay tuned.
