Mira Nakashima
Trestle Dining Table, 1999
This Trestle Dining Table is made from highly figured Persian walnut, 2 board book-matched top with 3 rosewood butterflies.
The Trestle Dining Table is an early Nakashima design, deeply rooted in the understated and purpose-driven ethos of the early American Shakers. Their approach to life, marked by simplicity and functionality, resonates in this work. The design incorporates pegs, making it possible to swiftly and effortlessly remove the table-top when desired, echoing the Shakers’ emphasis on practicality and utility.
Mira Shizuko Nakashima was born in Seattle, Washington, incarcerated with her family at Minidoka on the Idaho Desert and moved to New Hope, Pennsylvania in 1943. She attended school in Bucks County, graduated cum laude from Harvard University in 1963, and received a Masters in Architecture from Waseda University, Tokyo, in 1966, where she married one of her classmates. The family then moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania until 1970, when she returned to work as her father’s assistant until his death in 1990.
