Jared’s Picks from Current Artisans on CustomMade

Manhattan Sofa
Made by Janice Rosen of Elan Designs Ltd. in Winnipeg, MB

A sofa is arguably one of the most important pieces of furniture someone can purchase for their home. Not only should a sofa be stylish and comfortable but it should also stand the test of time. The clean lines of the Manhattan sofa make it extremely versatile and ensure that it will never feel dated.

Bow Arm Morris Chair
Made by Janice Rosen of RB Woodworking in Three Rivers, CA

It’s important that your home is comfortable for you to live in and is a place where you want to spend time. The Bow Arm Morris chair looks like a place where you could curl up and relax but it still has a tailored look because of its sleek arms.

Natural Live Edge Slab Coffee Table
Made by Derek Hurd of Studio1212 in Millersburg, OH

I have a thing about putting too much wood in a room so I always try to separate wood floors from wood furniture pieces in different creative ways. I love that these stools do that without coming off as too cold or too ultra-modern.

Reclaimed Barnboard & Custom Raw Steel Bar Stools
Made by Ron Corl of Ron Corl Design Ltd in Millersburg, OH

36 Inch Branch Chandelier Custom Lighting Project
Made by Rebecca Zhukov of Providence Art Glass in Providence, RI

Nothing changes the feeling of a room more effectively than the right (or wrong!) lighting. To me this chandelier is sexy and cool and would be the “jewelry” in any space.
