Testimonials
“After not finding the right piece at traditional furniture stores, we were excited to find the perfect mid-century inspired chair for our mid-century home at Relic Modern. Justin makes quality furniture at a fair price. Furniture is built on an as-ordered basis, Justin is very responsive, and our final delivery date was as expected. We have some smaller pieces including wall art and shelving too- you can't go wrong with Relic Modern!”

“I saw this really cool mid-century style wooden desk at Art-a-Whirl and knew I had to have it. I work from home and having a quality wooden desk that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing is important to me. Then, I walked around the corner, met Justin, crossed a few it's, dotted a few i's, and a few months later my desk was ready for pick-up. One of the best purchases I've made in my adult life. And Justin is nice as can be, made the whole thing super easy, and was in communication the entire process. I highly recommend this company!”

“We have now commissioned two pieces from [Relic Modern - formerly Hossle Woodworks] and have been wildly impressed with both. One was a slightly modified version of his design, and another was completely custom to fit our space. Justin was extremely open to our input when we had changes in mind and was able to articulate how the piece would work if we incorporate the changes. This allowed us to decide with confidence on which direction to go with our piece. We would absolutely work with [Relic Modern] again should we discover another need! ”

“We first came across Justin and his work at the Ann Arbor Art Fair. His fun twist on mid century modern furniture really drew us in and we ended up ordering three pieces from him - a media console, custom sized coffee table, and end table. Justin was upfront about the lead time, but it was totally worth the wait! The pieces are stunning, so well made, and the Baltic birch layers are so unique. Justin was so easy to work with and super responsive throughout the entire process. He arranged for the pieces to be shipped across the country and they arrived in perfect condition. Couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. We recently ordered our fourth piece from Relic Modern and can’t wait to add to our collection. Thanks again Justin!”

“Justin’s work is perfection! He is also a creative problem solver which we relied on to ensure his beautiful pieces fit up our smaller SW Mpls staircase. I have never seen work as beautiful as his and he is a true professional in every sense of the word. He does not disappoint. Our pieces are one of a kind that bring a smile to my face every time I see them.”

“When everyone who comes to your door is drawn to this beautiful bench created by Justin at Relic Modern, you know you made the right choice. Justin gave us a personalized creative experience and put his heart and soul into mastering our "welcome bench" to our new custom home. He met with us in person, listened to our hopes and then gave us a piece of art that is purposeful and one of a kind. Not only that, he was genuinely interested and excited for us. I can’t wait to work on another project with Relic Modern.”
