George Nakashima’s furniture explores the dichotomy between strength and fragility. Carved from magnificent pieces of rich, often rare, wood, his works are spare and elegant -- the result of a formal education in architecture as well as extensive exposure to European Modernism, Eastern religious philosophy, and Japanese craft traditions.

Nakashima’s profound reverence for wood dates back to his childhood in Spokane, Washington. It was there, amongst the towering forests of the Olympic Peninsula, that he developed an abiding admiration for the inherent beauty of wood.
