Thirteen years ago, Jenniver Lawrence went looking for a birdcage stand. Not just any stand — the right one. Something with character. Something that belonged in her space.
She couldn’t find it. So she built it.
“You’ve Never Picked Up a Saw”
That’s what she was told. And she hadn’t. But the birdcage stand needed to exist, and no one else was going to make it. So she taught herself — one cut, one join, one finish at a time.
That first piece wasn’t perfect. But it was hers. And it unlocked something she didn’t know was there: a calling.
From One Piece to 1,200
What started with a birdcage stand has become over 1,200 original works of functional art. Custom dining tables that seat sixteen. Refined dry bars. Statement consoles with hidden engineering. A 9/11 memorial commissioned by a fire department.
Every piece carries a name. Every piece tells a story. And every piece is built by the same hands that picked up a saw for the very first time over a decade ago.
Functional Art — Meant to Be Touched
There’s a phrase Jenniver comes back to again and again: functional art. Her pieces aren’t meant to sit behind glass or hang on a wall. They’re meant to be used — gathered around, leaned on, lived with. Art that becomes part of your family’s daily routine and gets passed down through generations.
“Most art you’re not supposed to touch. My art, you’re meant to.”
What’s Next
After thirteen years building in Southern California, Jenniver has relocated her studio to Cedar City, Utah. New state. New chapter. Same hands, same calling, same commitment to one-of-a-kind work.
If you’ve been looking for a piece that doesn’t exist yet — let’s start the conversation.
