Architectural, useful, and unmistakably Dunbar, this Edward Wormley “Magazine Tree” table presents five cantilevered trays radiating from a central upright—an elegant way to stage books, magazines, or objects while keeping a compact footprint. Crafted in solid walnut with soft bullnose edges and Dunbar’s refined joinery, it reads like a small piece of sculpture beside a lounge chair or sofa.

Designer & make

Designed by Edward Wormley for Dunbar, Berne, Indiana, the Magazine Tree embodies Wormley’s hallmark: modern lines elevated by cabinetmaker craftsmanship. An original DUNBAR metal tag is present (see photos). Produced in far smaller numbers than his case pieces, this model is genuinely rare and sought after by collectors and designers for its form and function.

Why we love it

  • Tiered, cantilevered trays organize reading material without clutter

  • Works beautifully as an end table or pedestal for objects

  • Warm walnut grain and rounded profiles add softness and tactility

  • A space-efficient footprint with big styling impact—classic Wormley restraint

Condition

Excellent vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear to the finish; trays slide freely and sit level. Detailed condition report and video available on request.

Dimensions

Overall: 24.75in H x 28.25in W x 16in D
Tray surface (each): TBD

Placement & styling

Park it next to an Eames Lounge, a Jens Risom sofa, or a quiet reading corner. Load it with art books, vinyl sleeves, or a rotating stack of magazines—the silhouette stays airy and intentional.
