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

A minimalist bar cabinet that lets a full wine and spirits setup sit quietly in a room - the legs continue the line of the side panels to minimize ornamentation, the handles are reduced to single openings cut into the doors and drawers, and the walnut or maple face reads as one uninterrupted piece across the front. Inside is an optional four-bottle wine rack with wine glass storage above, an adjustable shelf with pins included for lowballs or bottles, and two dovetailed maple drawers for barware. Equally at home anchoring a home bar in the living room, dining room, den, or home office. Available in 36" or 48" — the larger version adds a full middle bay with two adjustable shelves for additional storage.

Because the layered Baltic birch edges are left exposed as a signature detail — a nod to the designers of the mid-century era — the rabbet and dado joinery that holds the cabinet together is visible too. The construction reads as part of the aesthetic rather than something hidden behind it, and remains simple and clean. Designed around the idea that a bar cabinet shouldn't compete with what's on top of it.

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.

(01) Wood: 13-layer Baltic birch with walnut or maple face

(02) Drawers: solid maple, dovetailed, on soft-close under-mount Blum® slides with six-way adjustments

(03) Finish: pure tung oil, boiled linseed oil, beeswax, carnauba wax — a durable, water-resistant matte finish that feels like silky-smooth wood

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) Does this require assembly? No — the piece arrives fully assembled.

(06) Can I customize this piece? Yes. Customizations are available — additional wine shelves, removing the wine rack, or other modifications. Reach out before ordering.

(07) Can I see this piece in person? Yes. This piece 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.
