Live Edge Wood Designs
With Earth Day right around the corner, let’s celebrate by looking at live edge wood designs.
This beautiful redwood slab table above is featured in my San Francisco client’s Zen industrial condo, exhibiting clean lines and a natural edge that provides a connection with nature, underneath a light fixture that echoes the lines and colors of the table.
By maintaining the integrity of materials in their natural state, introducing organic forms that mimic nature, and incorporating Asian antique elements, an air of Zen, peace and tranquility is cultivated for all who enter this city oasis.
In my client’s San Francisco property, the husband had a slab of cypress from a fallen tree sitting in the garage, but didn’t know how to use it.
We relocated the home office, put legs onto the slab and turned it into a beautiful dining table. I used the color as inspiration for the wall paint, chairs, and kitchen beyond.
Now the entire space tones and looks completely pulled together with their gorgeous new kitchen and laundry. I’m so pleased with how it turned out, and so are the clients!
This beautiful 3-door credenza is a custom piece designed by a special company.
Fallen Industry was born out of the idea to reuse before destroying. They create custom-made, natural live edge wood furniture, organic round tables, desks, bookshelves, and architectural elements out of fallen tree wood slabs and reclaimed wood.
I haven’t worked with them yet, but I’d love to use one of their creations for a project. Could it be yours?
Happy Earth Day!
