Labor Day marks more than just the unofficial end of summer—it's a celebration of hard work, dedication, and the moments of rest that follow. It's a time to pause, reconnect with loved ones, and create spaces that honor both productivity and relaxation. This year, as we take that well-deserved long weekend, why not also give your home the upgrade it deserves?
From workspaces that inspire focus to dining areas that welcome friends and family, here's how to bring timeless design and purposeful function into your home with five standout pieces from Hernest.
Magnus Coffee Table
Start Your Morning
Long weekends are perfect for slow mornings—coffee in hand, maybe a book, or even catching up on some light work. The Magnus Wood Lift-Top Coffee Table transforms your living room into a flexible hub for both leisure and productivity. Crafted from kiln-dried ash wood with natural veneers, its clean lines and warm tone make it a perfect anchor for a modern space.
The lift-top design means you can comfortably work from the sofa without hunching, while hidden storage keeps the surface clutter-free. Whether you're hosting an afternoon gathering or answering a few emails before heading out, this table adapts effortlessly to your rhythm.
Rolf Oval Desk
Make Your Workspace
Even on holidays, a dedicated workspace can be a sanctuary—a spot for creative projects, personal planning, or simply keeping life organized. The Rolf oval desk blends mid-century charm with modern craftsmanship. Its gently rounded edges, fluted detailing, and solid wood construction bring a sense of artistry to an otherwise functional piece.
This is a desk that doesn't just hold your computer; it holds presence in the room. Its concealed drawers keep essentials tidy, while the generous surface invites focus. On Labor Day, it might host your holiday reading list; next week, it's ready for your big work presentation.
Rolf Oval Sideboard
Set the Stage for Effortless Entertaining
Labor Day is often a time for gathering—serving a home-cooked meal, opening a good bottle of wine, and letting conversations flow. The Rolf oval sideboard is your secret to hosting with ease. Made from ash wood with a graceful oval form and fluted cabinet doors, it's as much a design statement as it is practical storage.
Inside, adjustable shelves hide dinnerware, serving pieces, and table linens, so your dining area stays serene even in the midst of a feast. Place a seasonal floral arrangement on top, and you've got a piece that radiates warmth before guests even sit down.
Lira Media Console
Bring Movie Night into the Spotlight
When the sun sets on your Labor Day barbecue, there's nothing better than settling in for a movie marathon. The Lira Media Console anchors your entertainment setup with both beauty and utility. Crafted from solid wood and plywood with elm veneers, it features vaulted arch details and a sturdy build that can hold TVs up to 80 inches.
Its spacious drawers and adjustable shelves hide away electronics, remotes, and gaming consoles, keeping your living space polished. Cable cutouts mean no messy cords—just clean lines and an uninterrupted view, both on and off the screen.
Thorsten Oval Dining Table
A Dining Table Worth Every Gathering
At the heart of any holiday is the table—where stories are shared, meals are enjoyed, and laughter is exchanged. The Thorsten Oval Dining Table is built for such moments. With a smooth, stain-resistant sintered stone surface and a walnut-veneered pedestal base, it's as durable as it is elegant.
Its oval shape encourages connection, seating up to four comfortably. From brunch spreads to candlelit dinners, it creates an inviting focal point for your dining space, one you'll appreciate long after Labor Day has passed.
Closing the Weekend on a High Note
Labor Day is about balance—recognizing effort while embracing rest. The right home environment supports both. These Hernest pieces are more than furniture; they're thoughtful investments in the way you live every day. This holiday, celebrate in spaces that honor your hard work, your downtime, and the beauty of home.
