What is a live EDGE desk?
1 Answer
A live-edge desk is a desk in which the original gnarled shape of the edge of a tree beneath its bark is not sawed off, but it is preserved carefully for a raw look. Unlike traditionally finished desks, a live-edge desk brings the natural lines of the tree into the living space, creating the illusion of being outside within. Find a variety of live-edge desks on 1stDibs today.
