Lead Times

The truth is, good furniture takes time.

Every Relic Modern™  piece is built by me, start to finish, in my Minneapolis studio — no warehouse, no assembly line. I select and mill the lumber, join, sand, and finish each piece by hand. That care takes time, but it's also why the wait exists: it's the difference between something pulled off a shelf and something built for you, by hand, meant to last generations.

About this Piece

Reduced form, visible craft, and proportions that anchor a sofa without crowding it — a mid-century modern coffee table designed to read as quiet furniture in a busy room. The signature exposed Baltic birch edge runs around every surface, paired with a walnut or maple face on a body that doesnt shift with the seasons. Custom angled legs, hand-shaped to a smooth profile unique to this collection, give the piece a tactile MCM detail handled with a contemporary, minimalist hand. Scaled at 46 inches long for the living room, family room, den, or lounge. Custom dimensions available on request.

The custom angled legs are the piece’s hand-shaped tell — a MCM nod with a contemporary, minimalist profile that doesn’t exist on a factory table. Thirteen layers of Baltic birch sit beneath a walnut or maple face, with the layered edges left exposed so the material itself becomes the visual detail running around every surface. An open lower shelf runs the length of the piece, with plenty of room for books or trays — useable storage tucked into a low profile. Whether styled as a traditional coffee table or used as a cocktail table in a smaller sitting area, the proportions work across many spaces.

Rectangular is the standard, but dimensions can be adjusted. Contact for a custom size. 

Finished with a hand-rubbed oil and wax blend, the piece has a matte, warm look that enhances the natural grain of the walnut or maple.

Materials

Built from 13-layer solid wood Baltic birch with a walnut or maple face — a stable, sustainable core that doesn’t move with the seasons the way solid wood can. The layered Baltic birch edges are left exposed as a signature detail and a nod to the designers of the mid-century era. Handmade in Minneapolis.

Product FAQ

(01) How long until the piece ships? This piece is handmade to order in Minneapolis. Current lead time is listed in the box above the Add to Cart button. See Shipping, Pickup & Returns for details.

(02) Will the wood color change over time? Yes. The walnut face will deepen and take on warmer, reddish tones over the first year or two, and the maple face will warm into a deeper honey color — both are natural characteristics of the species and part of what makes the piece feel alive. The hand-rubbed oil and wax finish supports this patina rather than sealing it off.

(03) How do I care for this piece? Use coasters, wipe up spills, and keep rough objects off the surface. A damp cloth is all that’s needed for cleaning — no furniture polishes. The piece can be refreshed with a bit of furniture wax when it feels dry. Additional details are on the FAQ page.

(04) Can I see a wood sample before ordering? Yes. A wood sample of the Baltic birch with the chosen face — walnut or maple — and the oil and wax finish is available through the shop.

(05) Can I customize this piece? Yes. Contact before ordering.

(06) Does this require assembly? No. The piece arrives fully assembled.

(07) Can I see this piece in person? Yes. The Coffee Table is on display at the Minneapolis showroom, alongside the full furniture collection. See showroom hours or book an appointment.

The Maker Behind Every Piece

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.
