Rare George & Mira Nakashima Lounge Chair

Product details

Seller's Notes:A rare and iconic example of American studio furniture, this George & Mira Nakashima Slab Arm Lounge Chair is a signed and dated collectible showcasing masterful craftsmanship and natural elegance. Designed with Nakashima’s signature blend of refined joinery and organic form, it features a single-board figured American black walnut seat, hand-turned spindles, and a sculpted base. Most notably, the chair boasts a stunning free-form slab arm with a special wide burl on the right (as seated)—an exceptionally rare and exotic detail that elevates its uniqueness and value. This rich burl grain showcases the raw, unrepeatable beauty of the wood, making the piece a standout even among Nakashima works. Balancing Shaker-inspired simplicity with a distinctly modern sensibility, this lounge chair is both functional art and a sought-after heirloom for collectors and designers alike. A true testament to the Nakashimas’ legacy, it embodies timeless design at its most expressive. This chair has never been in the market or auction and Nakashima no longer make the same slab arm. This is a treasure that will go fast. Material: The seat is a single piece of Black walnut, the arm is burl, spindles are maple. Excellent - Mint Condition
