Live-edge tables preserve the tree’s individual contours as part of the design rather than machining every edge into a perfectly straight line. This makes every tabletop unique in its shape, grain and tone. The HWC collection includes solid walnut, oak and chestnut surfaces across metal-leg desks and dining tables. Consider the visual presence of the live edge together with the dimensions and intended use of your table.
A live edge is not a standardised profile; it is an organic line shaped by the way the tree grew. Subtle waves, grain transitions and tonal variations make every table visually distinct. Product images represent the design language, while the natural tabletop made for you will carry its own details.
The width of a live-edge tabletop may vary slightly along its natural outline. Use the stated overall dimensions when planning your layout, and account for the widest point and chair movement in tighter spaces.
| Layout | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Compact workspace | 120–140 cm long |
| Dining arrangement for four | 140–160 cm long |
| Dining arrangement for six | 180 cm and above |
| Narrow passage or alcove | Measure the widest point |
These recommendations are intended as a general planning guide. The leg structure, chair dimensions and conditions of your space may affect the final choice.

For custom orders, the approximate dimensions, wood species, tone and leg option are reviewed together. Because the exact outline of a live edge depends on the timber, the process is guided by a target size range and visual character rather than a standard geometry.
Good to know
It means preserving the natural outer contour of the timber. The edge may not be perfectly straight and will vary from one piece to another.
Variations in grain, tone and edge profile are expected with natural wood. The overall design language of the model remains consistent.
With the right dimensions and layout, it does not interfere with everyday use. When planning chairs and equipment, it is useful to consider both the widest and narrowest points of the tabletop.
Depending on the product, the collection may include walnut, oak or chestnut. The exact material is stated on each product page.
For suitable tabletops and designs, custom production can be considered around an approximate target size.
As with other solid wood surfaces, we recommend cleaning with a slightly damp cloth and protecting the table from prolonged heat and moisture.
