Artisanal Furniture

Furniture As Art

Artistic and Creative Pieces Handcrafted at Museums-level Quality

At SENTIENT, our drive is that each chair, table, credenza, or bed that we create should be a strong statement of design. To us, an object should awaken a sense, even if it’s only to provoke a question. Our collections and one-off creations are often perceived as art objects. The Friends bookcase, Time When console or the Icelandic sheep wool Long Wool Sofa are obvious examples of collectible furniture/art objects. It is easy to imagine a chic South Beach condo with a SENTIENT Wave Lounge placed in a prime corner location looking out and across Biscayne Bay toward the Miami skyline.

Handcrafted in Brooklyn

Museum Quality Furniture Designed and manufactured in New York.

SENTIENT conceives, designs, and builds an in-house collection of furniture and collectibles for home, commercial, and hospitality customers. Everything is hand-built to the highest standards in our 25,000 square foot Brooklyn, New York workshop. Each piece is handmade on work-benches, with many having our signature brass SENTIENT ‘S’ embedded into the surface, thereby confirming it’s originality and authenticity. So much of the work is based on natural wood, especially American black walnut. As every solid wood slab or wood board has different in grains, color, and the other timeless characteristics of natural wood, it follows that almost everything we build will have more than a little uniqueness adding to its value and collectibility.

Designers of America

Open Call to Interior Designers and Architects to Get Published in the Designers of America Book.

SENTIENT invites US-based architects and interior designers to submit their work for the possibility of being published in our book, Designers of America.

Here at SENTIENT, we are curious in our explorations into the creative arenas of art, design, and architecture. This curiosity continues to bring us deeper into the realization of what the creative mind can do: how art, design, and architecture can inspire a better way of living, resolve, and the joy that beauty brings. We believe that no hard line exists between art and design and continue to support this ideal through collaborations, facilitating creative possibility.
