    Details

    Geroge Nakashima was an MIT-trained architect who described himself as a “Japanese Shaker” – an expression of his interest in creating unadorned, functional objects. He also believed in pursuing a revival of lost crafts and practices, like traditional Japanese joinery and the use of natural materials. Nakashima was able to maintain the sculptural lines and fine craftsmanship of his Straight-Backed Chair (1946) even at the mass production level. Manufactured by Knoll.
    • Modern interpretation of Windsor chair by legendary craftsman.
    • American walnut frame with contrasting hickory spindles.
    • Clear low-sheen finish.
    • George Nakashima’s signature stamped on underside of seat.

    George Nakashima

    Although George Nakashima held several degrees in architecture and employed himself as an architect for a period, he still took time to apprentice in Japanese carpentry during an extended stay overseas. Nakashima would eventually form a studio in Pennsylvania that allowed him to craft furniture from pieces of wood that celebrated their natural imperfections: knots, gnarls, cracks.
