Timeless Design Crafted for Modern Living

The Sapience Chair by SENTIENT merges geometric precision with functional artistry. Featuring two diamond-shaped vertical supports connected by a horizontal seat and an angled backrest, this chair transforms simple shapes into a piece of elegant sculpture that serves both aesthetic and practical purposes. It is also available as a backless bench, and the Sapience Collection is crafted from solid wood and veneers, offering extensive customization options. Clients can choose from a diverse range of wood species, finishes, and upholstery, ensuring each piece aligns perfectly with their personal style and space requirements. Handcrafted in our Brooklyn workshop, these chairs transcend conventional limitations, allowing imagination to guide the design process for truly unique, bespoke furniture.
