Live Edge Midcentury Modern Coffee Table
Handmade in Wimberley, Texas by Philip Morley Furniture
This live edge mid century modern table is inspired by the gorgeous piece of bubinga which serves as the top. The design is intended to both compliment and accentuate the beauty of the wood. The top features through tenons. The drawer includes hand cut dovetail joints and a parquetry bottom. Tambour doors slide smoothly to reveal practical storage space for reading material. Finally, the turned legs include a bubinga accent at the bottom to subtly reflect the top.

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.
