"It is an art and soul-satisfying adventure to walk the forests of the world, to commune with trees," Nakashima said, "to bring this living material to the work bench, ultimately to give it a second life." Thus were pieces such as the Minguren Coffee Table created, to highlight wood's natural beauty, most notably by including the tree's rough outer layer or the 'free edge' as Nakashima called it
