Sapience Chair - Iteration IV

$6,200.00

The Sapience Chair Copper Leaf Edition by SENTIENT comes as a radiant pair, blending solid and open designs in hand-finished copper leaf, crafted to elevate any interior.

The Sapience Chair Copper Leaf Edition by SENTIENT reimagines the classic design with a striking twist, offered as a pair of captivating variations. Designed under the creative vision of Nersi Nasseri and crafted in SENTIENT’s Brooklyn workshop, this edition includes one chair with solid copper-leafed panels and another featuring the same form but with open spaces replacing the panels. The two chairs together create a dynamic interplay of presence and absence, light and shadow, blending sculptural boldness with refined elegance. The luminous hand-applied copper leaf on both chairs highlights SENTIENT’s commitment to craftsmanship and artistry, turning these chairs into functional works of art that complement each other in perfect harmony.
