George Nakashima for Widdicomb – 1959 Origins Collection Headboard
If you know… you KNOW.
Designed by George Nakashima in 1959 for Widdicomb Furniture Company’s iconic Origins Collection, this headboard represents a defining moment in American mid-century design—where handcrafted philosophy met refined production.
Nakashima believed every tree had a soul—and you see that philosophy in every line of this piece. The grain, the balance, the simplicity… it all speaks.
✨ Rich walnut with expressive, natural grain
✨ Subtle Japanese-inspired, architectural lines
✨ Clean, sculptural form that still feels modern today
✔️ Queen headboard
✔️ All original condition – excellent
✔️ Signed by Nakashima (major collector detail)
Matching nightstands available
Finding a signed Nakashima piece from this era is rare—this is the kind of piece collectors wait for.
This isn’t just furniture—it’s American studio craft history.
