Description

Although Nakashima held several degrees in architecture, he also studied Japanese carpentry techniques and reveled in the majesty of the forests in his native Washington State. In 1943, Nakashima started a small furniture business in Pennsylvania. Though he generally produced custom-made and site-specific work, Nakashima created signature pieces for select manufacturers.

The Straight Chair, originally designed for Knoll in the early 1940s, reflects elements of the Windsor Chair, Shaker craftsmanship, Japanese woodworking and contemporary forms. Featuring natural, low-sheen finishes and live wood grain patterns— in Walnut and Hickory—the Straight Chair epitomises Nakashima and his craft.
