About the Designer:
A master woodworker and M.I.T.-trained architect, George Nakashima was the leading light of the American Studio furniture movement Nakashima was an artisan who disdained industrial methods and materials in favor of a personal, craft-based approach to the design. What sets Nakashima apart is the poetic style of his work, his reverence for wood and the belief that his furniture could evince — as he put it in the title of his 1981 memoir — The Soul of a Tree.
