Riven & Sawn

For something truly unique, something truly handmade, consider a piece or set of furniture that has been crafted using the techniques, practices, and tools proper to the traditions of historic furniture making that built the period antiques we so cherish and revere.  At Riven & Sawn, custom furniture is designed and built according to the client's specific needs and purposes, in the historic period and style of their choice, and following the methods specific to the piece's historic inspiration. The build of every piece is fully documented, and every commission is accompanied by a beautifully produced hardcover book detailing through images and description the historically-based building process of the specific piece. Whether a client seeks a reproduction of an existing antique, desires for a custom piece to be designed and built to fit within their antique collection, or simply appreciates the authenticity of period-accurate woodworking and wants to begin the design process from the beginning, Riven & Sawn designs and builds furniture for clients that is fully customized to the dimensions and style of their space, but which maintains the spirit of something typically found only in the antique pieces built before the advent of woodworking machinery: the historic authenticity and organic look and feel of furniture that is truly handmade.
