Nakashima Splay-leg Coffee Table

With his Splay-Leg Coffee Table (1946), George Nakashima showed his gifted sense of grain, texture, and balance. The veneered walnut or hickory top has a reverse slip-matched cathedral grain, which allows the table to be placed facing either way. Mortise and tenon joints and brass hardware secure the top to the angled solid walnut legs, creating a simple, heirloom-quality modern classic. A signature plate on the underside of the table attests to its authenticity. Manufactured by Knoll.
