This was an intentional design choice, not a coincidence, and speaks to the craft sensibility of whoever made them. Use them as side tables flanking a sofa or chair, or push them together for a striking organic coffee table. Few pieces offer this kind of functional versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Nakashima\u003c\/strong\u003e (1905–1990) was an MIT-trained architect and master woodworker whose furniture philosophy centered on reverence for natural materials — allowing the grain, burls, and natural contours of each slab to guide the form. His work is collected by institutions including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian, and has been owned by Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt, and the late Steve Jobs. Nakashima-style pieces in teak with honest natural-edge construction are actively sought by MCM collectors at every level of the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nakashima-style \/ American Studio Furniture \/ Mid-Century Modern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid teak with natural live edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair of side tables; convertible to single coffee table form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matching wood grains align when tables are joined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJoinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dutchman dovetail repair (characteristic of Studio furniture tradition)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each 16\"H × approx. 17\"D; 31\" and 29\" wide respectively; approx. 60\" combined length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unmarked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good overall condition consistent with age and use.
