6. The & Chair

The unique curved wooden detail in the chair is probably its most important feature, and also the most interesting one. The curved form supports the multifunctionality of the design, and also adds an also poetic form to it. At first glance, the & Chair may look like a simple wooden furniture design, which it is, but it’s also much more. It manages to packs a punch of functionality with its homely and minimal form, while also harmoniously merging with the rest of your living space.

7. The Gallery Table

Designed by Patryk Koca, the Gallery Table displays 4.8m of unparalleled craftsmanship. The unique wooden piece was inspired by maritime construction! Almost resembling a ship, the versatile and long table is perfect for intimate gatherings.

8. The Cloth Coffee Table

Designed by Nick Pedullá, this beautiful record cabinet was crafted from Tasmanian Blackwood from Britton Timbers. An exquisite tambour door and brass grills give the cabinet a unique and eye-catching aesthetic!

10. staxxiom’s Furniture

Although their motto is “No tools, no hassle”, the most defining characteristic of staxxiom’s furniture is that it’s so visually simple, you don’t even need a manual. With laser-cut pieces of wood that simply interlock to create your design, staxxiom is building on IKEA’s DIY culture by making their furniture more efficient, more eco-friendly, and as simplified as possible. That last part works in staxxiom’s favor too, because the simplified design gives their furniture a unified, wonderfully minimal aesthetic

There’s something about a well-crafted piece of wooden furniture that can add an aura of warmth and calmness to any space!

And, this collection of beautiful and intricate wooden furniture designs do exactly that! Designed with extreme attention to detail, overflowing with love and care, and not only aesthetically but functionally pleasing, these furniture designs will be an invaluable addition to your living space, making you feel truly at home.

The Triforce details of this side cabinet by Deniz Aktay are absolutely exquisite! The triangular edges add a touch of intricacy to a simple and raw piece of furniture. Sometimes the simplest woodwork is truly the best!

Soft Baroque designed the 005 Coffee Table for Vaarnii. The humbleness and sturdiness of pine are reflected through this delicate coffee table. The joints used to built traditional Finnish log houses were added for a decorative effect to this furniture piece.

This beautiful dressing table by Wood Effect is a minimal and warm piece, fitted with several storage sections and drawers. The simple woodwork of the piece brilliantly shines through in the detailing!

The Bowater Drawer by Jan Hendzel Studio is an exploration of British timber. Crafted from olive and baked ash, the ripple at the centre of the drawer is the eye-catching detail of this piece!

Designed by Josh Carmody Studio, the central joint of this three-seater dining table is a simple expression of three structural elements supporting and interacting with one another. It is a metaphor for the daily activity of a family on a dining table.

This chair is an amazing display of nostalgia and minimalism through furniture design. The designer wanted to incorporate our inherent ways of interacting with nature into a chair. Stubby chair was inspired by these environmental settings that combined the love for interiors with an element from the exterior world.

The ‘Pallet Thief’ is certainly no ordinary piece of furniture, but then again, it’s a vision and a proof of concept for designer Anton Brunberg, who aimed at showing the potential this recycled pallet wood has in the furniture-design world. It comes with hundreds of pallet planks joint together before the seat is carved out of the central mass.

Inspired by a Japanese folding chair from the 1960s, its features, materials, and joinery details elevate the lines and design elements of the chair. The loose back cushion adjusts around the ash frame when seated and offers an innovative sense of comfort.

Aero bar cart by Plataform4 for Lider Interiors shows us a more elegant version of the classic straw woven ventilated cabinet door contrasted by a simple leather pull. This merging of two extremely traditional materials in a modern avatar is guaranteed to be a show-stealer, letting you store your bar essentials while bringing a light airy feel to any room.

The connect bar stool by Kin Design features three solid oak legs, which hold up a contrasting footrest. The footrest is a little pyramid of brass that sits comfortably beneath the round seat, tucked plushly between the wooden legs. The brass is a little hidden detail that provides a stark yet stylish contrast to the otherwise somber and simple stool. It’s a beautiful addition to your bar space!

We have seen a lot of designs that incorporate resin – it’s a trending art that is here to stay. While most designers use resin to rework their design, designer Meubles Thouret decided to take an innovative approach that helps you appreciate the wood in its natural form even better – using resin to mold or join different pieces of wood. Each individual wooden piece retains that cut pattern, which is now encased in resin, and the added use of resin means the tricky joinery is now in the hands of this flexible material.

If you are someone who loves to have a clean, organized, clutter-free desk then the Shelter desk by  João Teixeira is the one for you! It was designed keeping in mind all the devices, wires, and accessories that live on our workstations, however, Shelter still remains minimal while maximizing the value of a desk. There are three slim drawers on the front side that are big enough to store your gadgets, like tablets or laptops. The back drawer was designed for you to hide all your cables and chargers. But the beauty of this desk lies in the curved drawers that give this desk its fluidity while retaining the functionality of the design.

Atelier 2+ designed The Greenhouse for Design House Stockholm. As its name signifies, it’s a tiny greenhouse that is small enough to perfectly fit into your home, and yet spacious enough to actually house a miniature garden. It’s an artistic sculpture that helps you connect with nature without having to step out of your home.

The Pegg Desk by Pegg Furniture is a fun, buildable, and easy to move around desk! You can put together the simple wooden desk by yourself. Pegging the legs to the desk is an intimate process, allowing you to be hands-on and build your own furniture. The visible pegs create an interesting and rustic detail of the desk. And when the desk is on the move, you can store the pegs and the legs within the desk top.

The sliding door of the Casanova Sideboard by Wewood is the star of this piece of furniture! Pieces of oak and wood were used to create the pattern on the door, crafted delicately by hand, utilizing the skills of extremely talented artists. Created from 100 percent solid wood, the Sideboard can be used to store your precious knick-knacks or even as a TV cabinet.

Designed by OS & OOS Studio and Klaas Kuiken with materials supplied by StoneCycling, this Terrazzo Bench is a sustainable solution for the increasing amount of glass waste produced in Zanzibar. “Zanzibar is an island with about 1 million inhabitants. In recent times, tourism has grown markedly and so too the volume of refuse. bottle-up seeks a solution to this issue. Most furniture for hotels in Zanzibar is currently imported from foreign countries and is often made of wood, which means it can be badly affected by the weather conditions on the island. Furniture made from Trending Terrazzo is much more sustainable, beautiful to look at, and generates awareness for bottle-up.”

Designed by SÓHA for Savannah Bay Gallery, this sculpted bench was created wholly from copper and wood. The two materials combine and contrast with one another simultaneously, to create a piece of seating that seems more like a work of art. The rugged copper texture of the bench makes for an interesting visual, though it may not be very comfy to sit upon!
