George Nakashima
Mira Mirror Box, 1986
Material: Persian walnut, mirrored glass
Originally designed in 1958 by George Nakashima for his 16 year old daughter, Mira. The box incorporates a mirror in the top and 6 interior compartments for jewelry. Often the exterior top is made from a wood that contrasts with the other parts of the box.
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.
