However, burl wood became popular during the Art Deco and Regency eras, and furniture designers have continued to use it to produce pieces ever since then. This owes largely to the material’s range of organic shapes and knots, which add richness and distinct visual appeal. On 1stDibs, find a range of burl wood furniture.
