Scandinavian Style Rocking Chair With Long Elegant Rockers
I designed and built this chair for my wife when we were expected our first baby. I wanted to build a more elegant rocker that could be easily moved around by my wife. This rocking chair has subsequently undergone a few variations under my apprenticeship with Michael Colca to perfect the comfort of the chair as well as its rock.

Philip Morley Furniture
Trained in Carpentry and Joinery under the City Guilds in London, England, I turned my interest to furniture while working with a RISD graduate in Providence, RI. I moved to the United States in 2003 to be with my soon-to-be wife, Carmen Morley. I continued exploring design under Richard Chillcott. After the birth of my son, we moved to Texas and I served as apprentice to Michael Colca for 6 year. Under Michael I learned truly superior craftsmanship.
I design and build studio furniture (chairs, tables, beds, dressers, china cabinets, etc). My approach is to build unique pieces of functional art while maintaining the time honored integrity of traditional craftsmanship.
Studio art designed as functional art and built to last generations.
