George Nakashima Triple Chest Of Drawers In American Black Walnut & Laurel

Product Details

Product Description

The triple chest of drawers or sideboard made by George Nakashima in 1964 is a shining example of his expert craftsmanship and unique approach to design. The cabinet was custom-made for a private client and features a sleek and linear layout with sharp angles and clean lines. The contrast with the free-flowing edges of the Indian laurel wooden slab on top creates an organic feel to the overall aesthetic. The cabinet boasts nine regular drawers and three smaller ones, all of which are fitted with recessed handles that blend seamlessly into the minimalist front. The base is composed of two horizontal slats that are inserted perpendicularly into the frames. Nakashima's close relationship with nature is reflected in the materials he chose to use for his designs, and this piece exemplifies his ability to create furniture that is both timeless and of impeccable quality. George Nakashima himself was an architect and woodworker of Japanese descent, known for his spiritual and philosophical approach to design that prioritized harmony with nature. He sought to convey a message to modern societies that it is essential to remember the eternal in all that we create, and his work is a testament to his commitment to giving trees a second life. His artistic vision combined elements of Japanese design and shop practices with American and International Modern Styles, making him one of the most renowned American Art furniture designers of the 20th century.
