Andrew Muggleton Introduces “The Macassar Collection”

Macassar Ebony wood is considered one of the most lustrous

and beautiful of the ebony wood family.

Longmont, CO (November 24, 2008) -- Andrew Muggleton ( has decided to offer something special: a new take on his popular pieces, using one of the most unique and rare woods in the world. The new Macassar Collection features the use of Macassar Ebony wood, considered one of the most lustrous and beautiful of the ebony wood family.

To be able to work with this wood is a crowning achievement for most wood workers, but it comes with a price. Macassar Ebony is notoriously more difficult to bend; being more dense than standard woods. These qualities make for an extremely durable piece, but also require an expert hand to get the job done.

What sets this collection apart from his other pieces are details such as biscuit tuft upholstered leather seats, ¾” glass tops on the console tables, tapered curves and the perfectly matched veneer as it wraps around the entire piece.

The Macassar Collection features and arched, interlocking coffee table, end table and wave console; a chaise lounge, stool and free-form lighting.

  • The Arched Coffee Table presents a modish contrast between the Macassar ebony arch and the Stainless Steel shelf. The arch tapers out as it reached towards the ground. The glass top is secured by four Stainless Steel supports and the stainless steel is available in different brushed finishes.
  • The two piece interlocking Macassar Ebony end table fits together without glue and supports a 1/2" glass top. Stainless steel supports are used at both ends.
  • The Console Table features two pieces of tapered Macassar Ebony, which slide through each other fitting together without glue to create a seamless, elegant look. Stainless steel is used at one end and supports a 3/4" thick glass top.
  • Stainless Steel waves are attached to a tapered Macassar Ebony curve and supports a 3/4" glass top on the Macassar Wave Console.
  • The Macassar Chaise Lounge features beautifully stitched and upholstered leather supports secured to stainless steel curved rails. The headrest is also upholstered in leather. The base is curved and tapered in Macassar Ebony, which is considered one of the most lustrous and beautiful of the ebony wood family. It is a very dense wood, making for an extremely durable piece of furniture. The seat can be positioned at an infinite number of angles for reading or simply relaxing.
  • The Macassar Stool is similar in style to the Oster Stool. With Macassar Ebony for the legs, bisected by one large tail also in Macassar Ebony and the seat is upholstered in leather. Different color leathers are available. The footrest is finished in stainless steel.
  • The free-form lights come ready for canopy installation with steel cables and include 50-watt halogens bulbs. Tastefully done in Macassar Ebony with brushed stainless steel lights and frosted glass.
