Minguren dining table
USA, 1977
American black walnut, rosewood
120 w x 47 d x 28.25 h inches
The simplicity of this table belies the elegance and craftsmanship of such a large-scale design. The book matched, sap grain top is joined by five rosewood butterfly joints, resting on two plinths; the ten-foot surface expands in a dramatically rectilinear fashion. Tables of this size are a rarity in the market; Nakashima created this form specifically for the residence of architect John Hoffman, a home designed in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist | John Hoffman, Pennsylvania
