Top 10 Wooden Furniture Designs To Create The Ideal Minimal + Warm Living Setup

Dec 30, 2023

Wood has been the material of choice for furniture designers for ages galore. And no wonder! There’s something about wood that instantly adds a sense of zen and calm to any living space it is placed into. It puts your mind at ease, while managing to radiate a feeling of warmth and tranquility. It’s a minimal material that holds a strong personality without any additional frills and tassels. And I truly believe a well-crafted piece of wooden furniture can add a magical touch to even the simplest of living spaces. Minimal, clean, and almost always soothing, beautifully designed wooden furniture helps add the ultimate finishing touch to a room. And we’ve curated a collection of wholesome wooden furniture designs for you – from a minimal stool inspired by chess pieces to a desk that transforms from a work of art into a functional table.

This innovative and mesmerizing piece of furniture is called the Flow Wall Desk, and it’s an excellent choice of office furniture for smaller spaces. It is both functional and decorative while maintaining a simple design philosophy. It is sustainable too!

When the Flow Wall Desk is “stored” and folded away, it looks like a minimalist and interesting piece of art on your wall. And once you unfold it, it looks like a spiraling caterpillar and can then transform into a desk where you can work, read, or write in your journal.

The Rook stool is quite an interesting stool design by Ross Gardam, and it is inspired by chess pieces! If you look at the stool closely enough, you’ll find interesting similarities to the pieces you find on a chess board.

The designer drew references from the shapes of decorative wooden chess pieces for the Rook Stool. The stool utilizes simple elements that have been placed at unusual but intriguing angles and intersections to create a sculptural appeal.

This rather unique-looking chair is called the Nice Chair, and it is designed to be a disassembled chair. In a day and age, where space-consuming furniture is a complete mismatch for our modern-day apartments, the Nice Chair is created to occupy minimum space and assemble and disassemble with ease.

The Nice Chair can function as an ordinary chair to sit on, or as a rocker that moves back and forth. The rounded bottom edges of the chair enable it to rock back and forth, creating a mesmerizing lull that can guide anyone to sleep. You can also slide a tabletop between the ridges on the arms of the chair, to convert it into a workspace.

Designed by Form Us With Love and + Halle, the Cubicle is an interesting “bench and wall system” designed to simulate the experience of working with your back to the wall in open-plan workspaces.

It is designed to replicate and mimic the particular qualities that people seek while searching for seats in an open indoor workspace like a library or a co-working space. It perfectly simulates this very specific experience!

The Work Series II Table is a long and minimal table built by the British furniture brand Another Country, by merging timber and recycled plastic, to create more sustainable products for offices.

The Work Series II table is a thoughtfully-designed furniture piece equipped with a frame made from eucalyptus wood. A tabletop insert made entirely from recycled yogurt pots by Welsh manufacturer Smile Plastics is fitted into the wooden frame.

This uniquely designed and good-looking stool is called the KNOT Stool, and it is flat all around with neither a curved surface nor a corner. Various layers of wood were used to make up all its parts, imparting the stool with a brutalist aesthetic that is toned down because of the painted surfaces.

The three wooden pieces can be painted in the same or different colors. The decorative webbing strap that wraps around the top of the stool’s legs can also come in complementing or contrasting colors, not to mention being made of different materials.

The Alcântara Chair was designed by Álvaro Siza for the Portuguese brand MOR, and it displays the beauty and practicality of plywood, which is often considered a simple material, and not given much attention to after a certain point.

With the Alcântara Chair, Siza wanted to shine a light on this material’s simplistic and sheer beauty. The chair is made up of slim planks of plywood that have been arranged perpendicularly to form a seat, armrests, and backrest.

This rather intriguing-looking chair is almost skin and bones, and it has a lightweight form that evokes a sense of lightness in whoever views it. But at the same time, it functions as a stable seating platform, which invites you to sit and relax on it.

This mesmerizing chair is built using rattan wood, creating a decorative yet functional furniture design. Called Eclipse, the chair has a unique and unconventional design, which sets it apart from other boring chairs on the market. Two vertical circles arch over the seated person, making it a design that serves more than just an aesthetic purpose.

This collection of storage furniture is called Live Edge, and it was designed by Beomsuk Ko in an effort to celebrate the natural grain of the wood.

The furniture collection includes a glass cabinet, a walnut TV stand, and a freestanding shelving unit. All the pieces in the collection are beautifully designed with a minimal yet attention-grabbing appearance.

The Intension Design Tripod Standing Desk Pro can be assembled and disassembled within seconds. It is a unique furniture design built from walnut, birch, or black wood, and is ideal for those who work from home in small office spaces.

The Intension Design Tripod Standing Desk Pro weighs only 13 lbs and is a brilliant product for traveling or setting up without any assistance. You can utilize the desk to work, play board games, or as a permanent fixture in your house.
