Made of teak, a wood rarely used by Nakashima, this set bears a unique design. With dovetail edges and gently canted sides, it is a classic modernist statement. The only known Nakashima design related to this set is a piano stool he made for his daughter, Mira. The nesting tables were custom-made for an architect in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1963.
