 Live Edge Solid Antique Reclaimed Wood Furniture  

The designers at SENTIENT pride themselves with their original ideas, designs and art design furniture. Its almost easy to forget that these pieces may at the same time be a beautiful piece of luxury furniture. Nothing makes this statement clearer than the American black walnut live edge slab dining table. Walnut is an extraordinary wood species displayed with such eloquence on SENTIENT’s 13 foot slab dining table. It is a piece of art that is strong and assuring yet gentle and flirtatious at the same time. The wishbone legs are handmade solid brass with the same brass used on the butterfly joints on the table top. The nature of American black walnut graining and color variations is such that some designs are best left to speak for themselves. The SENTIENT designers clearly know when to work hard on a design and when to leave well alone.

SENTIENT’s originality and high quality furniture making skills are shown in two contrasting cabinets showcased for the spring season. One is the New Old dresser and the other the Luxor credenza. The New Old dresser is a timeless statement combining a classic bevel design using solid walnut, walnut veneer and finished off with automatic push touch latches behind reclaimed oak drawers. The Luxor dresser is named after its almost Egyptian appearance using angled sides to which are attached live edge wood slabs. These slabs seem to soften what might otherwise be a stern and rigid design while at the same time, and almost incidentally, act as legs to support this high gloss black credenza.

Live Edge Solid American Black Walnut Dinning Table & Coffee Table:

SENTIENT’s live edge table and other designs are made using sustainably sourced American black walnut, spalted maple, cherry, oak and other hardwoods. The protective coating is typically multiple applications of a natural clear finish. This brings out and accentuates the many colors and grain patterns and effects particularly noticeable in the black walnut species.

Caribou Lounge:

An original design statement from SENTIENT combining luxurious fur with American black walnut. The Caribou lounge chair uses Coyote fur which is soft and deep and has wide variation of colors and tones. The structure floats in a solid American black walnut frame which contrasts assuredly with the irregular shapes and variations of the fur. It is an iconic piece of furniture for use any any setting.

Locust Wood Chair:

A unique accent chair using the natural shapes and contours of the locust wood log. The locust wood log provided our designers inspiration for a unique chair using a vertical locust slab as both leg and backrest. We added some design to the composition so set against nature’s log we constructed a curved seat with tapered legs. The result is a chair that will work for both formal and contemporary settings.

Long Wool Sofa, Furniture As Art:

The SENTIENT Furniture Long Wool sofa is so much more than a sofa. It is a materials statement. Its a statement of time and timelessness. Its an original design using long wool Icelandic sheepskin together with reclaimed American oak. The Long Wool sofa is a beautiful enigma.

The SENTIENT Long Wool sofa is superb 360° design. Looking at the back we see the irregular patterns, colors and markings of the wonderful reclaimed oak boards. If they could speak what stories would these boards be able to tell? Take a step back and the movement of time seems to be evolving over and around the piece. The long wool appears on an inevitable march over the top and starting to fall down the back of the sofa until maybe one day it will be completely consumed with the wild, beautiful brown and beige wool. Suddenly we feel the mysterious warmth of an ancient, wind swept moss covered stone wall from a time long past.

Looking at the front we consider the upholstery and we laugh and enjoy sheer audacity of using long wool Icelandic sheepskin. The wool is both chaotic and wild and yet also soft and inviting. As if to make its final statement the Sentient Long Wool sofa is bound by its strong, reassuring and assertive 96” x 42” x 40” reclaimed oak frame. One question remains. Do we stand back and enjoy the view or do we fall into the Long Wool sofa and use it for its purpose, it is a sofa after all…

Shimna Bed:

A live edge bed that uses a single slab for both the headboard and the footboard. American black walnut slabs are precious and come in many shapes and sizes. We tryour best to use all parts of each slab. For the SENTIENT Live Edge Slab Bed we decided the to cut out a section that would otherwise be hidden behind the mattress and pillows. Not to waste anything and to make the composition a whole we the turned the cut out upside down and used it for the footboard. A subtle design idea that bringing something a little extra to a beautiful walnut slab.

Sentient Furniture

SENTIENT Furniture was created by an attorney, a physician and an industrial designer. The three of us share the strongest passion for thoughtful, creative and original design. The result of our combined efforts is a design firm with a philosophy that is found in the name. The word ‘sentient’ is defined as ‘the power of perception’, ‘by sensation and consciousness’. On viewing our work we hope your consciousness is provoked by our expressive creations. Our work is intended to be curious, questioning, aesthetically refreshing and at times deliberately spectacular. In our drive for originality we look for materials that may be of limited supply or are not generally easy to work with. We believe this increases the uniqueness of each piece and to that end some of our collections will be of limited supply. In addition to our creative efforts we are also extremely proud of our experience, capabilities and versatility. Our furniture is built to the highest standards and as can be seen in the 2013 collection we have the ability to work in a wide variety of materials and styles. There are natural wood tables, a high gloss laminated cabinet, a reclaimed oak and walnut dresser and a spectacular sofa upholstered with icelandic sheepskin long wool.

Live Edge & Slab Hardwood:

At SENTIENT we strive to create original and creative furniture designs. At the same time we recognize that nature has provided us with sumptuous solid American black walnut and other hardwood. It is a furniture makers friend as so much of the design is in the wood itself. With subtle, rich and warm colors the grain patterns of each slab could almost be a work of art. At SENTIENT the aim with our live edge and solid wood furniture is for each piece to be just that, a work of art.
