Erin Daniels Launches First Custom Furniture Design

Erin Daniels, best known for her breakout role in Girl, Interrupted and as Kelli Moltisanti on The Sopranos, is trading scripts for sketchpads. On Instagram this week, Daniels revealed a brand-new venture: a custom furniture piece she guided from concept to completion.

From Concept To Completion

“A friend once said, ‘just make stuff don’t think about it, make it’… So I did. (Thank you Mr. Liberson) From concept, rendering, to completion,” Daniels captioned alongside four images showing her original drawings, 3D renders and the polished, real-world object. The multi-image post charts every stage of production, giving followers an inside look at her design process.

The finished piece—a sculptural home accent that blends organic curves with crisp lines—appears in a sunlit studio with California breeze filtering through. Though Daniels didn’t specify its function, its low profile and sweeping silhouette suggest a statement coffee table or sculptural bench. Fans quickly noted how the form echoes both mid-century modern and contemporary art influences.

A Design Passion Revealed

Daniels has dropped hints about this creative pivot before. In an August post she teased, “Been working on a big new project outside of the entertainment sector. If you know me, you know design and architecture run deep in my blood. More to come soon…” Those words now come full circle as she unveils her first completed piece.

Her background as an actress may surprise some, but Daniels has long nurtured a love for interior design. An earlier Instagram update introduced “Doug,” her three-year-old son, alongside custom coffee tables she dubbed “my babies,” signaling a growing workshop practice. That post hinted at her juggled life as parent, performer and budding designer.

Screen To Studio: The Next Act

Erin Daniels (born Erin Cohen) earned critical praise in the late ’90s and early 2000s for roles in film and television. A graduate of Northwestern University’s theatre program, she won early acclaim in Girl, Interrupted and appeared in hit series including The Sopranos and Resurrection Blvd. After two decades on screen, she’s channeling her creative energy into tangible objects.

Her Instagram feed now mixes behind-the-scenes shots of table saws and power drills with flashbacks to red-carpet premieres. In one recent story, Daniels posed beside giant plywood sheets, wearing safety goggles with a mischievous grin—proof that this new craft venture is no half measures.

While she hasn’t announced a launch date or pricing, Daniels thanked collaborator Mr. Liberson, whose handle @jliberson suggests a design colleague. Their creative alliance brought her initial sketches into digital renderings, then into prototype and final form.

Collectors and fans have already flooded the comments with praise. One follower wrote, “Can’t wait to see this in my living room,” while another joked, “From Sopranos to side tables—what can’t you do?” Daniels has responded with sneak peeks of material swatches and teased new shapes in development.

What’s Next?

This inaugural release marks just the beginning. Daniels hinted she’s drafting multiple designs—with lighting, shelving and seating versions in the works. If her furniture line follows her acting career’s momentum, expect a seamless blend of form, function and a dash of Hollywood polish.

As the industry watches, Erin Daniels is proving that creativity knows no single medium. From screen siren to studio artisan, she’s embracing the mantra she shared: Don’t overthink it—just make it. And now, her fans get to live with the art she’s made.

Her next Instagram update is already eagerly anticipated. For those ready to bring a touch of Erin Daniels’s design flair home, the wait may not be long.
