Japanese Live Edge Table For Sale on 1stDibs

There are many modern, abstract and Impressionist versions of these works for sale.

On 1stDibs, the right japanese live edge table is waiting for you and the choices span a range of colors that includes gray, blue, white and beige. Creating a japanese live edge table has been a part of the legacy of many artists, but those crafted by (after) Henri Matisse, Henri Matisse and Edgar Degas are consistently popular. Frequently made by artists working in lithograph, linocut and etching, these artworks are unique and have attracted attention over the years.

Finding the Right Tables for You

The right vintage, new or antique tables can help make any space in your home stand out.

Over the years, the variety of tables available to us, as well as our specific needs for said tables, has broadened. Today, with all manner of these must-have furnishings differing in shape, material and style, any dining room table can shine just as brightly as the guests who gather around it.

Remember, when shopping for a dining table, it must fit your dining area, and you need to account for space around the table too — think outside the box, as an oval dining table may work for tighter spaces. Alternatively, if you’ve got the room, a Regency-style dining table can elevate any formal occasion at mealtime.

Innovative furniture makers and designers have also redefined what a table can be. Whether it’s an unconventional Ping-Pong table, a brass side table to display your treasured collectibles or a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk to add an air of nostalgia to your loft, your table can say a lot about you.

The visionary work of French designer Xavier Lavergne, for example, includes tables that draw on the forms of celestial bodies as often as they do aquatic creatures or fossils. Elsewhere, Italian architect Gae Aulenti, who looked to Roman architecture in crafting her stately Jumbo coffee table, created clever glass-topped mobile coffee tables that move on bicycle tires or sculpted wood wheels for Fontana Arte. 

Coffee and cocktail tables can serve as a room’s centerpiece with attention-grabbing details and colors. Glass varieties will keep your hardwood flooring and dazzling area rugs on display, while a marble or stone coffee table in a modern interior can showcase your prized art books and decorative objects. A unique vintage desk or writing table can bring sophistication and even a bit of spice to your work life. 

No matter your desired form or function, a quality table for your living space is a sound investment. On 1stDibs, browse a collection of vintage, new and antique bedside tables, mid-century end tables and more .

Questions About Japanese Live Edge Table

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    A live edge table is a table where the natural, organic edge of a tree beneath its bark is not shaved off to create a straight edge.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021
    A live-edge table is a table that sees the actual gnarled shape of the edge of a tree on at least one side of the structure. This kind of table preserves the forest's natural beauty — impurities in the wood are retained, and the tree's edges are left undisturbed for at least part of the table. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary live-edge tables from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    The best finish for a live edge table varies. Live edge tables can be treated with a number of finishes. Clear-oil finishes topped with polyurethane, lacquer, or shellac accentuate the wood’s natural grain and texture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Old-growth redwood, as it is the most stable, is one of the most popular woods used for live edge tables. Black walnut, cherry and oak are also great live-edge options. You can shop a collection of live-edge furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
