出生于1904年的美国洛杉矶，父亲是日本诗人野口米次郎，母亲则是美国作家Leonie Gilmour。他曾是哥伦比亚大学医科预备生，结果因在达芬奇艺术学校（Leonardo da Vinci Art School）修习雕塑课程，受到知名诗人雕塑家Onorio Ruotolo的鼓励，决心也要成为一名雕塑家。
1927年获得古根翰奖学金并成为法国雕塑家Constantin Brancusi的工作室助手，还曾到过北京，随齐白石大师学国画。他前往纽约第一次举行个展时，认识了美国舞蹈家Martha Graham，两人后来成为合作伙伴，并为Graham的许多舞蹈作品担任舞台设计工作。
自1930年代中期起，由于和著名舞蹈家的合作，使他成为舞蹈舞台设计的顶尖艺术家。而他个人的设计作品，无论是艺术性或实用性的作品，都深获推崇，使他成为大师级人物，其作品也在世界许多大城市中占有一席之地。
他也将他精彩的工作和生活经验反映在他的设计作品上，那些有机形式的雕塑风格家具、灯饰、室内外空间设计，对整个50年代的设计圈都产生了巨大的影响。
1988年12月30日，逝世于美国纽约。
Born in Los Angeles, USA in 1904, his father was Japanese poet Yonejiro Noguchi and his mother was American writer Leonie Gilmour. He was a medical preparatory student at Columbia University. As a result, he took a sculpture course at the Leonardo da Vinci Art School. He was encouraged by the famous poet and sculptor Onorio Ruotolo and determined to become a sculptor.
In 1927, he received the Guggenheim Fellowship and became the studio assistant of French sculptor Constantin Brancusi. He also went to Beijing to study traditional Chinese painting with Master Qi Baishi. When he went to New York for his first solo exhibition, he met American dancer Martha Graham. The two later became partners and served as stage designers for many of Graham's dance works.
Since the mid-1930s, his collaborations with famous dancers have made him a top artist in dance stage design. His personal design works, whether artistic or practical, are highly praised, making him a master figure, and his works also occupy a place in many big cities in the world.
He also reflected his wonderful work and life experience in his design works. Those organic forms of sculpture-style furniture, lighting, and indoor and outdoor space design had a huge impact on the design circle of the entire 1950s.
Died in New York, USA on December 30, 1988.
