Questions About Live Edge Japanese
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Live edge or natural edge furniture incorporates the natural edge of the wood into the piece. This may mean that the artist even leaves the natural cracks, or they might fill them in with resin. Because the pieces are unique and in high demand, the pieces can be more expensive than other wooden furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    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.
