Mira Chairs by George Nakashima
-
Description
The Mira chair made of American black walnut embodies Nakashima’s belief that furniture should be lived with, carrying the wears of everyday interaction. The design is based on a model he made in the late 1940s as an elevated seat so his baby daughter, Mira, could sit at the table on the Mira Chair.
Later, he transformed the Mira chair into a convenient dining chair. Japanese American architect and father of the American craft movement, George Nakashima, is among the first generation of studio furniture makers and is cited as highly influential in the field of contemporary woodworking. He mainly worked with wood waste and offcuts. -
