Inner Island I by George Nakashima x Edward Fields

96 x 120 in

“Inner Island” means “Nakashima” in Japanese. The drawing featured a squarish island with a snow-topped angular mountain representing an example of George Nakashima’s profound inspiration from nature. This design was never manufactured as a rug but following Nakashima’s notes found on the sketch, an interpretation was crafted by the Edward Fields creative team and Mira Nakashima to create a piece made of different deniers of wools mixed with accents of silk in a color palette of forest green, brown and icy blue, Inner Island I. A second interpretation was made in textured wools in grey and blue tones juxtaposed to the shine of silk, Inner Island II. All designs in this edition are expertly tufted by skilled artisans.
