Spectacular coffee table designed by American master woodworker George Nakashima in collaboration with the Widdicomb Furniture Co., Grand Rapids, Michigan (circa the 1950s). Our coffee table is part of the Origins Line, "SUNDRA" Model 200. The table is constructed of a solid walnut top with a gorgeous inset of Carpathian elm over three flat tapering conical legs. The design features a simple, modern, and organic form that is beautifully complemented with its dramatic wood grains for a natural aesthetic. The table’s unique characteristic of subtle elimination of straight lines and edges that are beveled back ten degrees with a top that overhangs substantially more than is usual reflects Nakashima's "Soul of the Tree" philosophy. Stenciled underneath "SUNDRA”, “7/59" (July 1959). The original Widdicomb label is intact.

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.
Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.
New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.
Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps, the marks that prove the piece lived.
