At Jenkins Artisan Woodshop we’re excited to introduce the Finger Print Series of tables and desk tops. Customers who love our live edge designs for their organic beauty are now also choosing these contemporary artisan pieces built from exotic hardwoods like figured walnut, curly maple, wenge, and purple heart.
Each Finger Print Series top is crafted by joining highly figured boards so that no two patterns are ever alike—just like a fingerprint. The result is a modern, refined surface with bold character, perfect for desks, dining tables, and statement pieces.
Whether you lean toward the natural edge of a slab or the striking geometry of the Finger Print Series, you can commission a piece that is personal, functional, and one-of-a-kind.
Now taking commissions—your table or desk can be the next to showcase its unique fingerprint.
Integrating Live Edge Furniture into a Modern Home: A Perfect Harmony
Introduction
Live edge furniture is more than a trend. It brings nature’s beauty indoors. These pieces add warmth to sleek spaces and create contrast with contemporary styles. But how do you achieve the right balance? Let’s explore how live edge furniture can complement modern homes while enhancing their overall feel.
Why Live Edge Furniture?
Homeowners love live edge pieces for their unique, organic feel. Unlike mass-produced furniture, each piece has one-of-a-kind wood grain, knots, and textures. These natural imperfections tell a story. They add authenticity that modern furniture often lacks.
Where to Use Live Edge Furniture
1. Dining Tables: A Statement Piece
A live edge dining table can be the centerpiece of your dining room. Pair it with minimalist chairs and pendant lighting. This enhances its natural beauty without overwhelming the space. The mix of rugged wood and sleek furnishings creates a welcoming atmosphere.
2. Coffee Tables: A Subtle Touch
A live edge coffee table is a great starting point. Placed in a modern living room with clean lines and neutral tones, it adds warmth without overpowering. It blends rustic charm with contemporary style, making your home feel effortlessly stylish.
3. Shelving and Consoles: Functional Art
Live edge floating shelves or console tables can turn a blank wall into a focal point. Combining raw wood with industrial metal brackets creates a mix of organic and urban design. This fusion works well in modern homes.
4. Desks and Workspaces: A Productive Retreat
A live edge desk adds character to your workspace. It promotes a sense of calm and connection to nature. Pair it with a modern ergonomic chair for a stylish and comfortable setup.
How to Style Live Edge Furniture in a Modern Space
1. Keep the Color Palette Neutral
Stick to neutral tones like white, gray, and black. This lets the natural beauty of the wood stand out without clashing with other design elements.
2. Mix Materials for Contrast
Live edge furniture pairs well with metal, glass, and concrete. Mixing these materials keeps a modern feel while letting the wood add warmth.
3. Embrace Minimalism
Live edge furniture has a strong visual presence. Keep surrounding decor simple and streamlined. This highlights the wood’s natural beauty without making the room feel cluttered.
4. Use Strategic Lighting
Good lighting enhances the texture and grain of live edge wood. Place furniture near natural light or use warm LED lighting to highlight its patterns.
Conclusion
Live edge furniture blends nature and modern design. Thoughtful integration creates a space that is both contemporary and warm. Whether you choose a bold dining table or subtle shelving, live edge pieces add character that mass-produced furniture cannot match.
