Contemporary/modern furniture pieces using a combination of rich, beautiful woods and metals as well as painted and dyed engineered materials joined in curving, flowing lines and imaginative forms. I like to design furniture around shapes and contours rather than letting the form of the wood dictate the design. These pieces are meant to be more than functional or merely attractive.
They should be interesting as well as fashionable and useful. I am not afraid to experiment with form or construction ideas. My designs have increasingly incorporated flowing lines and structures that make each piece recognizably elegant yet bold. Technique comes from decades of trial and error, and I love to combine wood with other materials such as metal and glass.
I have worked toward using sustainable materials in a way that does not lend itself to the typical 'GREEN' look. Thank you so much for taking the time to enjoy my designs. Please feel free to contact me if you like. David Langley Furniture Design is an acclaimed source of distinctive, hand crafted furniture.

I have been a professional furniture artisan since 1995.
Throughout that period I have worked and studied with peers and fellow craftsmen and developed my own recognizable style.
My experience includes the practice of yacht carpentry with Bristol Boat Company and two years as an instructor at Woodwright Academy.
My work has been featured in Houston House and Home, Texas Highways, Woodcraft Magazine, Gloss, Our Blok and Voyage Houston.
I have been recognized at juried exhibits: Delmar Fair, the Buddy Holly Museum, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Kirr Arts and Culture Center, Rockport Art Center and The Museum of South Texas.

We have ~7 pieces of furniture designed and built by David, in addition to a built-in desk and surrounding cabinets that he made for our previous home.
We first worked with David around 2009-10 and have continued to do so throughout the last 6-7 years.
He has made very large pieces in addition to some much smaller pieces (e.g., a knife block and keepsake box).
Working with David has consistently been amazing.
He is a true professional.
For certain projects, we've come to him with a general description of what we were interested in but very little specific direction and he has come back with designs that blew us away.

Having come from an artistic family, I was always encouraged to express myself through art.
I feel very lucky to have been raised that way and I try to maintain that encouragement when speaking before students and/or young artisans.
I encourage you to look through my designs to find that unique, piece of furniture that will brighten your home and spirit.
