wow, nice stuff thanks, could you describe the doors in the cabinets?

Thanks
so much for the tour ! It may be as close as I ever come, and I appreciate it.
It's good to see that (I presume) nothing much has changed -- other than that the man who made it all happen is gone. . .

is that a prouvé anthony...
is that a prouvé anthony chair I see in the chair shop?

Are you referring to the sideboard / credenza in the background of the photo of the super long coffee table? If so, I actually failed to notice that piece when I was there. I guess it might be some kind of woven material under the wood details.

bj
Yes, that's Prouve standard chair.

Why would a person with your screen name be interested in Nakashima's shop?

Huh,
Yeah -- weird, no ? Hooda thunkit ?
So, the artist's daughter keeps things running, as I hear it ?

Wooood
Yes, I believe Mira Nakashima still manages the operation. One of Nakashima's grandsons, Satoru Amagasu, is also a craftsman there.

Beautiful and organic stuff!
I recall the woman who brought her original Nakashima table to the Antique Road Show.She described placing a custom order back in the 60's and working with Nakashima personally.She commented on what a patient,kind and gentle man he was.She brought along his original drawing for the table design,too and boy did the appraiser ever go nuts over it.

Great photos, woodywood,...
Great photos, woodywood, thanks for posting.
Bump.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know the artist before and got an inspiration to look into him a little more.
