Step inside SENTIENT's gallery and 25,000 sq ft workshop for sake, design, and a private tour with Creative Director Nersi Nasseri. Discover handcrafted furniture, enter to win a year of SENTIENT Privé membership, and toast the launch of our new designers' guild.
Sip sake, step past the gallery, and discover the hidden world behind SENTIENT.
This NYCxDESIGN, SENTIENT invites you to an intimate evening at our Greenpoint studio, where craft, sculpture, and design converge. Tour the gallery to experience one-of-a-kind furniture and sculptural works—pieces shaped by hand, by fire, and by obsession.
Then, step behind the scenes for a rare private tour of our 25,000-square-foot workshop, normally closed to the public, where our makers transform raw materials into collectible design. Sip curated drinks, enjoy seasonal appetizers, and meet SENTIENT’s Creative Director, Nersi Nasseri—the artist whose vision shapes every piece in the room.
Launching: SENTIENT Privé
This event also marks the debut of SENTIENT Privé, our new invite-only guild for designers, architects, and makers. Privé members gain access to private commissions, members-only events, studio collaborations, and experiences reserved for our inner circle. Attendees will have the chance to enter a raffle for a complimentary year of SENTIENT Privé membership—one of the most exclusive design memberships in New York.
Daily Raffles. Designer Prizes.
Every day of the festival, we’ll be giving away unique prizes and surprise collectibles. Show up, sip, explore—you might leave with something unforgettable. Whether you're a collector, an architect, a fellow designer, or simply design-curious, this is your invitation to experience SENTIENT as we see it: a living studio where every piece tells a story, and every story begins with the hand that made it.
