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. See less
