Phyllis Morris

Phyllis Morris (1925-1988) was a Los Angeles based designer and manufacturer of luxurious custom furniture, lighting and accessories.  Phyllis Morris Originals was founded in 1953, a time when Mid Century furniture design favored Modern Minimalism.  According to Phyllis Morris, “Minimalism is for those without much to say.” 

Phyllis Morris was known for her extravagant designs, such as her throne chairs, unique cabinets and signature canopy beds, all hand crafted in California using the highest quality materials.

One of Phyllis Morris’ first designs was the Poodle Lamp, which she delivered to clients personally in her pink Cadillac convertible. 

Phyllis Morris’ clients include Joan Crawford, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, Howard Hughes, Aristotle Onassis, Barbra Streisand, and Cher, among many others.
