George Nakashima
1 piece available
American woodworker George Nakashima (1905-1990) trained in architecture, worked for Antonin Raymond in Tokyo and India, and established his workshop in New Hope, Pennsylvania. His furniture honours the individual tree, using free-edge slabs of walnut and other timbers joined with butterfly keys. The Conoid chair and his large slab tables are his best-known forms. Collectors prize studio pieces with documentation or the client's name inscribed, over the later Knoll editions.
