Real Furniture,Made by Real Hands
I build every piece by hand in my Minneapolis workshop — one maker, one standard, no shortcuts. While big-box stores fill warehouses with particle board and mass-produced templates, Relic Modern™ starts with real, high-quality wood and ends with something built to last. Some things are worth buying from a real person.
Mid-century modern isn't a trend — it's a discipline. Clean lines, reasonable proportions, and modest, organic shapes. At Relic Modern™, that means stripping every design down to its essential form and building it from high-quality Baltic birch with walnut or maple faces, finished with a hand-rubbed oil and wax blend that lets the wood speak for itself.
Handcrafted Pieces
The curated collection features handcrafted furniture and sculptural objects to enhance your home and your life. Timeless in design, they transcend trends, and complement any room.
Custom Work Made Just for You
From variations of existing collection pieces to entirely tailored creations, custom pieces carry the same commitment to artistry and longevity.
Product Highlight
End Table No. 2
These sculptural mid-century modern end tables are the perfect bookends for a sofa and bring a balanced look to any living room. Handcrafted from layered Baltic birch and solid walnut (or maple), their minimal design maintain a light and airy feel while allowing for plenty of storage space.
24”H x 18” or 22”D (front to back) x 18”W
The Beauty of Baltic Birch
Unique, layered, and remarkably durable, Baltic birch is a hallmark of Relic Modern™. Many of the handcrafted products highlight the distinct stacked composition of the individual pieces of birch—combining beauty and strength. The result is heirloom-quality work that’s sustainable, enduring, and truly one-of-a-kind.
