Nature Form & Spirit is a richly illustrated retrospective examining the life and work of George Nakashima, written by Mira Nakashima. The publication explores his evolution as a furniture designer, architect, and master craftsman, situating his work within the broader context of twentieth-century design.
Through extensive photographic documentation, the book presents Nakashima’s most significant furniture creations and reflects on his philosophy of working in harmony with the natural lines and grain of wood. It also considers his influence on contemporary design and the enduring legacy of his studio practice. The volume stands as both tribute and scholarly resource, illuminating the spiritual and material foundations of his oeuvre.
