Beautiful walnut wood selection in a finish that Nakashima called “Sundra”, meaning “thing of beauty” in Sanskrit. In excellent condition overall. Measures 51″ wide x 43″ high x 4 deep. 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. Please reach out for additional photos of the piece.
