Nature Form & Spirit

This survey of Nakashima’s life and work-written by his daughter, the noted designer Mira Nakashima, is the most revealing look we have ever had at this woodworking genius and his profound influence on contemporary design. Mira Nakashima chronicles not only the furniture designs for which her father was best known, but also his equally fine work as an architect. Illustrated with a wealth of never before published photographs and contains much new information from the Nakashima studio archives. In exploring his personal and philosophic journey, Mira Nakashima provides a remarkable look at the development of an artist whose reverence for nature was at the heart of his creative work.
