"The 76 pieces on view at Florida's Modernism Museum Mount Dora prove, yet again, why the American Studio Movement master is unrivaled for his sensitive handling of his chosen material." This in-depth look at George Nakashima features the woodworker's pieces alongside those of Wharton Esherick, continuing the "intellectual thread" of the gallery's inaugural exhibition, From Wharton to Wendell, which juxtaposed the work of Esherick and Wendell Castle.

I love poking around on 1stdibs. I’ve never purchased anything from the site, but it’s a great way to while away your time, inevitably seeing several outstanding pieces of furniture or design that you’ve never laid eyes on. Every so often I also discover a really good physical store that is operating as an online retailer via this high-end shopping portal. Open Air Modern, based in Brooklyn, is one such example, bowling me over recently with this incredible Hans Wegner swivel chair as well as many other rarities.
