Live-edge tables bring class, creativity, and customization to any commercial space. Its common to see these beautiful tables in conference rooms but they can be added to lounge areas, reception, and entryways too. Bringing nature into commercial spaces by incorporating a live-edge table is a great way to update your decor and aesthetic elements while keeping the functionality of having a table.

What Is a Live-Edge Table?

Before we get too far into this topic, let’s go over what a live-edge table is. Live-edge refers to the integration of the natural edge of the wood slab into the design of the furniture. Tables are often the most popular live-edge choice because they easily emphasize the live-edge more than other types of furniture. However, the live-edge concept can be integrated into dressers, bookshelves, or cabinets too.

Where Can Live-Edge Tables Go?

The quick answer is live-edge tables can go anywhere. Live-edge tables are more than just a functional table, they’re a work of art that should be shown off. That’s why these amazing pieces can fit anywhere and blend in, or stand out, with any decor style. Incorporating a live-edge table in your commercial space is a great way to bring a modern twist to any room you put it in. They can be great side tables, coffee tables, reception desktops, or bookshelves.

Past Project Highlights

We recently completed two amazing live-edge tables for BJB’s commercial space. A beautiful live-edge quartz table with trapezoid bases featured a walnut slab sandwiched between to quarts slabs. They also requested another live-edge walnut table with a solid box base to house all the data cords. The width of each live-edge table will vary by nature to keep the natural feel of the walnut edges.

Walnut is a popular live-edge table choice because it is not only beautiful but it also is a durable material. One of our earlier live-edge tables was commissioned by the Maman Corp. We built them a 16-foot live-edge walnut table for their conference room. The two table slabs were joined together and featured a storage base for electric and data cords.

By pursuing our dreams of high-quality craftsmanship with creative design elements, we have been able to work with some amazing companies and customers to design amazing and unique live-edge pieces that are unlike anything they could buy at a big-box retail store.
