USA, 1986 butternut 20 w x 21 d x 35½ h in (51 x 53 x 90 cm)
Each chair signed in marker on bottom: [George Nakashima 1986 Furman Butternut].
The use of butternut is rare in the work of George Nakashima because it was uncommon to find wood of good enough quality for Nakashima's standards. When Nakashima discoverd a small stock of butternut, he produced this set of custom chairs. Suprisingly, five chairs have single-board seats, a rarity with any conoid chair, and of special significance considering the difficulty in finding high quality butternut. more
