Nakashima, George (1905–1990)| US furniture maker. Known as the dean of 20th-century US woodworkers because of his high professional standards, he wrote a book describing his reverence for wood, The Soul of a Tree (1981). |
| Nakashima was born in Spokane, Washington. Following early work as an architect in Tokyo and India, he moved to New Hope, Pennsylvania, in the mid-1940s to begin making sculptural furniture by hand. His creations were informed by Japanese grace and Shaker design. |
