In 1974, George Nakashima was commissioned to design furniture and rugs for the Japanese house at the Rockefeller Estate in Pocantico Hills, New York. However, the rug originally designed for the main dining room was never manufactured; fortunately, Nakashima’s notes on this piece were found among the newly discovered sketches, allowing the Edward Fields creative team, aided by Mira Nakashima, to diligently and faithfully bring the design to life at last.
George Nakashima
George Nakashima was trained in architecture then turned to furniture-making, and he was first to make woodworking a fine art. He collaborated with Edward Fields in late 1950s by creating a series of drawings to be translated into rugs that resulted in two pieces in 1959. These rugs were the start of a new collaboration between Nakashima’s children, Mira and Kevin, and the Edward Fields design team. This amazing team effort brought the collaboration to a new level by interpreting a packet of 60-year-old Nakashima sketches into a new series including six rugs and one tapestry launched in 2015.
