Furniture that avoids the aesthetic of the moment.

SHIMNA combines traditional materials and techniques with contemporary design, infused with a sense of whimsy. We want our pieces to hearken back to the past but also connect with the present and future. We use local craftsmen and hardwoods to make each piece custom to order in Brooklyn, New York, USA.
