My favorite chair to sit in, whether I’m working or just relaxing at home. In this corner, I like the interplay of two design icons who had a subtle but profound impact in the Philadelphia area. George Nakashima was a Japanese American designer and woodworker who I’ve admired for a while now. His studio grounds in New Hope, PA still produce furniture and host guests for architectural tours. Louis Kahn was a renowned architect whose residential projects in the area include the oft photographed Kahn Esherick House.
