Contact Us About Your Project

Designer furniture with originality and art

We infuse artistic qualities and original thought into every piece. That’s the core of our work and the main draw of our furniture gallery. If a piece is going into a special home, a hospitality project, or a restaurant, we take responsibility for offering something different: juxtapositions of materials, shapes, colors, and ideas. We aim for art and originality in every project.

SENTIENT has been part of furniture exhibitions in Dubai, Paris, New York, Miami, and London. Our brass signature is embedded into each surface as a mark of authenticity and a recognizable sign of who made it. Art-Deco, industrial design, traditional, or mid-century modern, our work holds its own in each context and has earned a place among New York furniture makers.

SENTIENT’s Philosophy

The name SENTIENT speaks to the ability to perceive through sensation and consciousness. We bring that to our work: each piece is made to engage the senses and continue the tradition of early Brooklyn furniture makers, with old-world craftsmanship and artisanal design, all rooted in our Brooklyn workshop. We offer high-end custom furniture and a live edge collection that stand out in the room.

Our luxury furniture collection is meant to be thought-provoking and engaging, and at times to carry a clear presence. We aim to spark curiosity and enjoyment. As a New York furniture maker, we focus on a portfolio of custom projects that resonate with people who care about how things are made and ask questions. That’s the collection we build.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a custom furniture project take?

A typical custom furniture project takes 12–14 weeks from concept to delivery. This includes consultation, concept development, 3D rendering, refinement, production, hand finishing, and white-glove delivery and installation.

What wood species do you work with?

We primarily work with American hardwoods: American Black Walnut, Hard Maple, White Oak, Red Oak, Cherry, and Ash. For outdoor applications we also offer Teak and Ipe. Each slab is selected for its grain character and structural integrity.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes, we ship throughout the United States and have completed international projects in Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the Middle East. We provide white-glove delivery and installation for all projects.

What is the process for a custom furniture project?

Our process includes seven steps: consultation to understand your vision, concept development with initial sketches, detailed 3D renderings, refinement until the design is right, production with progress updates, hand finishing and quality control, and white-glove delivery and installation.

Do you offer a trade program for designers and architects?

Yes, we offer a dedicated trade program for the architecture and design community. Benefits include priority scheduling, trade pricing, and direct collaboration on custom specifications. Learn more about our A&D trade program.

What is live edge furniture?

Live edge furniture preserves the natural edge of the wood slab, revealing the tree’s organic form. Rather than imposing a shape, we work with what the wood offers, creating pieces that celebrate the material’s innate character. It is one of SENTIENT’s most recognized specialties. Explore our live edge collection.

Can you handle large-scale hospitality and commercial projects?

Yes, we move seamlessly between a single bespoke piece for a collector and a complete furniture program for a 200-room hotel. Our 25,000 sq ft Brooklyn workshop and team of 25–30 craftspeople give us the capacity to deliver consistency across large orders while maintaining quality. Clients include Edition Hotel, British Airways, Four Seasons, and Cartier.

Do you offer custom upholstery?

Yes, we execute commercial-grade upholstery in-house. We work with exclusive fabrics and leathers, offering complete customization on cushioning, stitching details, and durability specifications for high-traffic commercial applications. Learn more about our upholstery services.
