グラス・シート・チェア
1940年代

アメリカ
アメリカン・ブラックウォールナット、シーグラス
幅57 × 奥行46 × 高さ67 × 厚さ43 cm

グラス・シーテッド・チェアは、日系アメリカ人であるジョージ・ナカシマによって最も初期にデザインされた椅子の一つ。アメリカン・ブラック・ウォールナットの象徴的なフォルムに、曲線的な背もたれ、6本のスピンドルや天然シーグラスで編まれた正方形の座面は、彼の精巧な職人技によって精巧に構成されている。1940年代、彼がペンシルベニア州ニューホープに移り住んだばかりの頃、MoMAのルネ・ダルノンクールのために製作されたものである。この有機的なデザインは、エレガンスと木の自然な美しさを引き立てている。

裏面に鉛筆で "A70 / R1086 "と記されたチェア。
