George Nakashima Collection

Modernab is delighted to unveil a special selection dedicated to George Nakashima. This exclusive collection brings together a selection of rare and important works, a quiet dialogue between its craftsmanship and nature. Nakashima saw in every tree a silent history, a presence waiting to be revealed. In his hands, wood became more than a material: a collaborator, a spirit to be honored rather than shaped at will.

This collection carries that vision forward. Each piece represents a conversation between nature and maker where grain leads form, and beauty emerges through restraint. The result is a work that transcends function: part sculpture, part soul — timeless, grounded, and profoundly human.
