The George Nakashima Woodworkers Complex is the historic home and studio of internationally known furniture designer, woodworker, and architect George Nakashima (1905-1990), a leader in 20th century American design and the American craft movement. The Complex is both a historic site and an active studio/workshop that makes one-of-a-kind, handcrafted furniture.
