Harvest Table (drop-leaf), 1962
This Harvest Table (drop-leaf) is made from American black walnut. Originally referred to as ‘Special Harvest Table’. This is a very rare form, made with a piano hinged top on a trestle base. The table has a unique design that allows for it to be used as a dining table and console.
George Nakashima was born in Spokane, Washington in 1905 to Japanese parents who had immigrated to the United States. Educated and trained as an architect at the University of Washington, Nakashima received his Master’s degree in Architecture from M.I.T. in 1930. After working briefly as an architect in the United States he left for Paris seeking the creative energies of one of the great urban centers of the day. From there he traveled extensively, ending up at the home of his grandmother, living on a farm on the outskirts of Tokyo.
