SENTIENT is a New York City based design and manufacturing
company. We have created an acclaimed collection of original,
contemporary and timeless furniture items. Additionally at
SENTIENT we collaborate with the design community for
the supply of bespoke furnishings and objects to the luxury
residential, commercial and hospitality markets.
At Sentient we conceive, design, develop
and fabricate all of our own ideas and
products. Our ideas and designs have two
main influences. Firstly, the wide choice and
availability of sustainable hardwoods from
forests of the North East and Midwest of the
United States and secondly the decades of
experience we have from making bespoke
furniture for the New York City marketplace.
Whether it’s a three legged stool for a coffee
shop or case goods installations for a 500
room hotel our designers and fabricators
have done it all.

Joojay Armchair
The SENTIENT Joojay armchair is the little sister of
the Long Wool sofa. The upholstery is long wool
from the sheep of Iceland. The structure is made
using brass combined with reclaimed American
oak boards showing nail holes, checking and
other spectacular characteristics. Joojay a unique
an example of SENTIENT’s work crossing the line
between design and art.
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 setting.
Luxor Credenza
An Elegant Credenza with Live-Edge Legs
We like to mix different colors and
materials. Sometimes it works and
works really well. This is one of those
moments. A high gloss black credenza
with leather pulls. The angled sides are
unusual in themselves but to add to
that idea we decided to attach live -dge
slabs to outside of the structure. The
final composition is a delicate floating
combination of manmade laminates
and timeless live-edge slabs.
New Old Dresser
A Timeless Design Statement
The SENTIENT New Old dresser would look great in a Park Avenue apartment and at the same time
also look great in chic Tribeca boutique hotel. It can be made using a variety of materials and finishes.
It is shown using solid walnut, walnut veneer and reclaimed American oak.
Orbit
The Orbit is a contemporary modern, almost sculpture–like, design that combines the strong
rectilinear lines of the external structure with a striking oval shaped multi–functional internal space.
It can serve as a bench for up to three people or a TV console or perhaps a stylish storage unit for all
types of objects. The SENTIENT Orbit collection is shown using ambrosia maple with its distinctive
gray coloring. It available in most hardwoods and also with a variety of materials for the elliptical face.
A Sculpture–Like Design That Can Be Used As A Bench, Storage Unit Or Console
Nersi Sofa
An Assured Sofa with Soft Curves Upholstered from Top to Bottom
This is a sophisticated piece of upholstered furniture that is very gentle and pleasing to the
eye. Under that delicate pallet is a complicated structure requiring experience and master
craftsmanship in carpentry and upholstery, gained by many years supplying the New York and
Tristate area custom furniture markets.
The SENTIENT Furniture Long Wool sofa is so much more than a sofa. It is as much a superb piece
of design as a wonderful piece of art. The upholstery is long wool from the sheep of Iceland. The
structure is made using reclaimed American oak boards showing nail holes, checking and other
spectacular characteristics. The combination of the wild and chaotic Icelandic long wool upholstery
with the warm honey colors of the timeless reclaimed oak make the SENTIENT Long Wool sofa truly
unique. Dimensions 96” x 42” x 40”

Sapience Chair & Bench
The SENTIENT Sapience Chair is an elegant geometric structure. This comfortable chair has
two diamond shaped vertical supports joined by a clean horizontal seat and an angled back
rest. Remarkably even though the chair is comprised entirely from geometric shapes it has a
sense of character and rhythm such that the end result is as much an elegant sculpture as a
geometric structure. As the name suggests, the Sapience chair is the result of many years of
experience and wisdom! It is also available as a bench.
The Sapience collection is made from solid woods and wood veneers. It is available in a variety
of hardwoods and finishes and also has a variety of upholstery options
Conceive Design and Create
At SENTIENT we are continually creating and developing
our designs and products. Whether its a traditional design
or an entirely new idea we are capable of conceiving,
designing and creating. Thats is what we are all about.
American Chair
Dry some some American black walnut and hard maple
boards. Hand carve the seat and backrest. Turn some
walnut and maple spindles on the lathe. Join them all
together and to create a beautiful American Chair.
The SENTIENT Locust Wood chair maybe
design by serendipity as much as any other
creative method. Regardless, we found a
unique use for a bias cut locust wood slab
creating the back and leg of a live-edge chair.
Adding the curved seat and splayed and
tapered legs has resulted in an eye catching
conversation piece.

Live-Edge
SENTIENT’s live-edge tables and other
designs are made using sustainably sourced
American black walnut, maple, figured
maple, hard maple, spalted maple, cherry,
white oak, oak and other hardwoods.
Finishes are applied with care to provide
protective coatings and also to accentuate
the many colors, grain patterns and effects
found in many of these wood species.
We use wood that has been air dried
followed up with kiln drying. Depending
on the size and thickness of the wood
sometimes the drying process may have
taken up to three years from the time the
tree was felled until the wood is ready to be
worked on our benches.
Colorado Live-Edge Table
A Contemporary Modern Table Including The Timelessness of A Live-Edge Slab
The colors and design of the SENTIENT Colorado table
suggest the Southwest United States. The glass–filled
gap between the inverted edges of a live-edge spalted
maple slab suggest a great river and the darkened
V -shaped legs speak of a canyon. There are oversized
butterfly leg connectors tying the minimalist leg
design that is capable of supporting a table of 10 feet
or more in length. This table is also available in walnut
or other hardwoods on request.
Single Slab Live-Edge Table
The Contemporary And Timeless Single Slab Live-Edge Table
The SENTIENT Single Slab live-edge table is made
using a single cut or slice from the trunk of the
tree. The lion’s share of the work to produce a
stunning American black walnut live-edge table
has been undertaken by nature. The colors, grains
and other spectacular characteristics have been
formed through the decades and centuries of
growth. Each tree and each live-edge table is not
only beautiful but is also unique.
Center Joined Walnut Live-Edge Table
The SENTIENT Center Joined walnut live-edge
table is made by attaching two matching walnut
slabs from the same wood stand with a tight
center join. This type of table top provides greater
flexibility to create a live-edge table in a specific
size and/or shape. Like the single slab style, each
center joined table is unique.
MB (Multiple Board) Walnut Live-Edge Table
The SENTIENT MB (Multiple Boards) walnut live-
edge table is made by inserting three or more hand
picked solid walnut boards between solid live-
edges. This table is created and fabricated at the
same high level of quality and attention to detail
and is also available with the same leg and other
choices as the single slab and center join tables.
A Plethora of Table Styles
At SENTIENT, we supply a wide variety of styles and designs
other than live-edge. They can be circular, and we have many
pedestal options, or rectangular tables made from oak, maple,
cherry and many more wood species. Additionally SENTIENT
has supplied many restaurants with a variety of dining tables.
We also provide may corporations with large conference
tables including electrical and audio visual outlets and other
special requirements.
SENTIENT Table Legs and Bases
SENTIENT has designed and created an exclusive collection of table legs that work with all table top
choices. They are available in a variety of finishes and can be adapted to counter and bar top heights.
Split Credenza
The SENTIENT Split Credenza is a counter intuitive conversational design. As can be seen the
cedar slab has extremely striking colors and effects, almost art–like with heavy brush strokes.
The doors are created to deliberately overwhelm the rest of the piece which turns out to be
a spacious credenza for AV equipment or other storage items. The carcass is a rich copper
powder infused color.

Live-Edge Coffee Table
Coffee tables are a fun and sought after item. We have conceived and fabricated a wide variety of
coffee tables using many different materials, shapes and styles. At SENTIENT we can produce a coffee
table using the customers designs or alternatively we can recommend and create a coffee table that
may be sculptural or functional and often both!
Zora Coffee Table
The SENTIENT Zora coffee table is a modernistic design combining a bias cut locust slab on a white
cantilevered base. We love timelessness, and in the Zora coffee table the clock may be pointed to the
future at some distant galaxy!

Foothills TV Console
The SENTIENT Foothills console is a design that combines a strong reassuring walnut live-edge slab
supporting a tempered glass shelf. The geometric columns carrying the glass shelf combined with
the natural wood base make this both contemporary and timeless at the same time.
