Conoid chairs for Hall of Peace

The Hall of Peace, with its magnificent Peace Table for Asia, envisioned by late George Nakashima and crafted by Nakashima Woodworkers, New Hope, USA, has finally been completed with the installation of seven Conoid Lounge Chairs. Also referred to as Meditation Chairs, these are among Georges Nakashima’s most famous designs, and are also on display in the George Nakashima room of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The seven chairs have been a joint donation by the Nakashima Peace Foundation, the American Foundation for World Education, the Dutch Stichting Aurofonds and an individual donor. The chairs were inaugurated on February 26th in the presence of members of the Nakashima family.
