George Nakashima (1905-1990) blended Japanese traditions with American local aesthetics and culture, and incorporated modern sensibility, which injected new vitality into the development of design, and how to inherit and integrate the national culture outside the West. Development provides a new path. There are no two identical leaves in the world, and neither does George Nakashima's furniture. They have been preserved in their original natural shapes, and each piece is unique. Natural, simple and sophisticated, it softens Chinese and Western cultures, and the beauty surpasses time.
