New Life for the Noble Tree

Check out this interesting video about an auction about to be held by Sotheby's in New York:


The video showcases some of George Nakashima's greatest work for the Krosnick family, including the beautiful "Arlyn Table."

George Nakashima was an Japanese American woodworker, architect and furniture designer born right here in the NW, in Spokane, WA. Nakashima was one of the leading innovators of 20th Century furniture design and a father of the American craft movement.

It is very easy to become inspired by the natural beauty and simplicity of Nakashima's work. We, at The Good Mod, have so many beautiful burl wood pieces in our warehouse and shop. Some already built into tables, while others are waiting for you custom flare in our DIY room.
