Michael Taylor for Baker Furniture “Far East Collection” Chinoiserie Walnut Coffee Table, 1960s Vintage coffee table designed by celebrated American interior designer Michael Taylor for Baker Furniture’s iconic Far East Collection, circa 1960s. Widely credited with helping define California luxury interiors. Crafted in richly grained walnut, the table features a paneled top with four inset sections framed by darker walnut banding, creating an elegant visual rhythm and architectural balance. Its most distinctive feature is the sculptural Asian-inspired base: bold, softly curved waterfall legs with upturned feet that evoke classic chinoiserie forms while remaining mid century modern. The low, elongated profile makes this an ideal statement coffee table for sophisticated contemporary, transitional, or mid-century interiors. It works equally well in a formal living room, library, or design-forward loft setting. A collectible example from Baker’s sought-after Far East Collection, this table reflects the appeal of Michael Taylor’s timeless design language—refined, substantial, and quietly dramatic.
