Pair of Rare George Nakashima Conoid Lounge Chairs
SOLD.
Pair of George Nakashima Conoid lounge chairs, 1983.
American black walnut.
Signed ‘George Nakashima’, Oct 1983.
Introduced in 1961, the Conoid line was inspired by the curved vault and outward-facing, lyrical space of Nakashima’s Conoid Studio. These Conoid lounge chairs - which were first designed in 1976 for Japanese architect Yutaka Saito - are wider, lower and much more difficult to find than the more common Conoid dining chair or Conoid cushion chair.
Made for Full Circle gallery.
Measurements: 22” width, 24” depth, 33” height, 13.75” seat height

Frederic Mares Deulovol (1893-1991) patinated bronze gazelle doe.
Base signed in the casting: F. Mares; with impressed foundry mark: Fundicion R. Vila / Valls (Tarragona).
Bronze base has been removed for photography and because we feel the doe stands more beautifully in a room without it, though it could be simply placed back on matching bronze base if desired.
This doe comes form a California estate where it was kept outdoors, partially covered. The resulting patina and verdigris is beautiful and reminiscent of a Pat Steir painting. The bronze is beautifully sculpted with incredible, life-like details, from the slight movement of the tail to the deep gaze of the eyes.
