Nakashima, George

The Soul of the Tree in Bucks County

The legacy of George Nakashima is inextricably linked to the landscape of Bucks County, PA, where his studio in New Hope became a sanctuary for the soul of the tree. At New Jersey Pennsylvania Art, we recognize that Nakashima’s work is not merely furniture; it is a spiritual dialogue between the craftsman and the natural world. By preserving the organic “free edge” of the timber, Nakashima allowed the history of the forest to remain present in the home. This regional connection makes his work a cornerstone of our collection, representing the pinnacle of the American studio furniture movement that flourished in Bucks County, PA, as well as across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
