George Nakashima Double Pedestal Desk with Live-Edge Top

You have encountered a truly outstanding example of George Nakashima’s Double Pedestal desk design. Made custom for a private client in 1969, it exemplifies his signature style, which blends nature and design, evident in the raw beauty of the wood juxtaposed against the clean, modern lines of the desk's base. This piece stands out for its free-edge top crafted from American black walnut, highlighting the natural contours and texture of the wood. The table is supported by a pair of pedestals which incorporate a set of drawers with beautiful recessed handles. The base is formed by wooden slats intersecting perpendicularly to create a cross-shaped support. The joinery techniques used in the desk are meticulously executed, displaying fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. This early and rare desk by Nakashima Studio dates back to 1969. One drawer was adjusted at a later date. The desk comes with a copy of the original order card issued by the Nakashima Foundation.
