Westways Coffee table
The Westways Coffee Table is a sculptural, one-of-a-kind piece born from movement, memory, and a little bit of wild inspiration. Equal parts story and structure, it draws from an image that’s hard to forget: two alluring women sharing cold wine, bluegrass drifting through the air, and a sideways Manzanita clinging to rock. That moment—unexpected, unbalanced, and beautiful—is exactly what this table became.
The tabletop is crafted from Northern California Madrone and Maple, joined with floating tenons and hand-set copper pegs that hold seven individual sections together. The Madrone top is a four-way match, all cut from a single board and laid out so the grain mirrors itself in every direction—creating a flowing, almost liquid symmetry across the surface. It’s a rare and deliberate layout that rewards a closer look.
Supporting the top is a dramatic Manzanita pedestal, harvested from the Reagan Ranch in the Santa Ynez Mountains, northwest of Santa Barbara, California. Twisting, organic, and unapologetically natural, the Manzanita appears to grow sideways—just as it does in the wild—bringing raw movement and tension into the piece. The base is grounded in Maple, providing balance and contrast to the expressive pedestal above.
Suspended beneath the top is the signature “hanging bird cage shelf”—yes, that’s exactly what it sounds like, and yes, it was completely invented for this table. Crafted from Redwood and Brass, it floats lightly below the surface, offering a functional place to set books, bottles, or whatever the moment calls for, while adding another layer of visual intrigue.
The Westways Coffee Table isn’t meant to blend in. It’s a conversation piece, a story told in wood and metal, and a celebration of California landscapes, music, wine, and imagination. Strange, elegant, grounded, and free—this is what happens when craftsmanship meets instinct.
