Looking for a live edge table? Unique live edge tables and vanity tops
Are you looking for a piece of furniture that is not only functional, but also brings the pure, untamed character of nature into your home? Then a solid wood 'live edge' design is exactly what you need. At iQonya, we transform raw trees into breathtaking, unique eye-catchers for your home or business.
In this article, we explain everything you need to know about the live edge trend, advise you on the most beautiful wood species, and show you how we craft your dream bespoke furniture with passion and sustainability.
What is a Live Edge Table?
Live edge (also known as a natural edge) is a woodworking term where the original, organic shape of the outside of the trunk is preserved in the piece of furniture.
Where traditional furniture makers saw the raw edges of a board straight for a clean look, at iQonya we embrace those wavy, natural lines. Preserving the 'live edge' highlights the pure, untamed shape of the tree. The result is an organic silhouette that creates a softer feel and beautifully breaks up the harsh lines of modern interiors.
Which wood should you choose for a Live Edge Table?
Choosing the wood is the most important step in designing your unique piece of furniture. Every tree species tells its own story and has specific characteristics. At iQonya, we work with the most exclusive and characterful wood species:
1. Juniper wood (Juniper): The Colourful Eye-Catcher
Juniper is an exclusive wood loved for its spectacular, wavy grain pattern and rich knot patterns. Juniper is known for its fine, wild grain and light base colour. What makes this wood truly special are the spectacular tones; these range from salmon pink to blazing deep red and purple. It is a solid showpiece that instantly adds atmosphere and warmth to your space.
2. Olive wood: Character with a Rich History
Olive trees grow slowly and twistingly, giving the wood a breathtaking, wild grain pattern. Olive wood is naturally one of the hardest and most characterful woods in the world.
Structure: It stands out for its rich, contrasting grain pattern and dark knots.
Colour: It possesses warm, goudbruine tones.
Design: Olive wood is perfect for designs with a wild, organic shape, featuring deep recesses and characteristic contours.
3. Cedar wood: Solid with a Wonderful Scent
Cedar is a fantastic choice for furniture, including robust doors and tables.
Appearance: Cedar has a warm, light colour and a beautiful grain pattern.
Weight: It is relatively lightweight compared to other solid wood species.
Aroma: Cedar wood is known for its pleasant, spicy aroma that brings a sense of wellness into the home. It diffuses a subtle, wonderful scent.
More than Dining Tables: Coffee Tables and Vanity Tops
At iQonya, bespoke design doesn't stop at the dining table. The beautiful live edge look comes into its own throughout the entire home:
Live Edge Coffee Tables: From a heavy, organic log slice ('cookie') cut from a single solid piece of wood to a rectangular model; we make coffee tables that form the centrepiece of your seating area.
Live Edge Vanity Tops: Create a luxurious wellness feel in your bathroom. A solid vanity top instantly brings warmth and character. As standard, we finish our vanity tops with a high-quality wood oil that penetrates deep into the pores, forming an incredibly strong, water-repellent layer. This makes your furniture highly resistant to bathroom moisture.
To make the live edge furniture hygienic, safe, and perfectly flat, we meticulously fill natural cracks and knots with high-quality epoxy.
Sustainability at iQonya: Giving Wood a Second Life
Buying solid wood furniture is a choice for life, and at iQonya, we do so with the deepest respect for nature. We maintain a strict sustainability policy under the motto: "Giving wood a second life".
No active felling: We never engage in active felling to make our exclusive live edge tables and epoxy resin tables. We do not cut down healthy trees to produce furniture.
Natural fall: We rescue trees that have been lost due to natural circumstances (such as old age or extreme weather conditions), lightning strikes, or urban planning.
Transparency: We import all our wood directly from reliable, strictly selected sources in Turkey, giving us complete control over the supply chain.
By rescuing these trees, we prevent waste and give them the honour they deserve in the form of a stunning piece of furniture.
