George Nakashima

Staggering 4-seater sofa made of American walnut, handmade by George Nakashima himself. The straight feet and frame in combination with the generous seat cushions provide style and comfort. The style he developed combined traditional American and Japanese elements with modern elements and varied over time, while working with wood became a constant challenge and made him famous for his excellent woodwork. Apart from the complex techniques and styles that influenced him, Wharton Esherick and Sam Maloof show similarities with his work.
