Should I choose a Waney Edge table for my home?

Nestled in the heart of Bristol, Konk has been making furniture for nearly a decade now. Amidst the sleek lines of modern furniture and the timeless charm of mid-century designs, there are many reasons why a Waney Edge (also called Live Edge) dining or coffee table might just be the perfect choice for your home.

1. A Slice of Nature Indoors

The defining feature of a Waney Edge table is the natural, raw edge of the wood, typically left untouched from when it was cut from the tree. This means every table retains the unique curvature and character of the tree it came from, bringing a slice of nature right into your dining room.

2. Unparalleled Originality

No two Waney Edge tables are the same. Each piece of timber has its own growth rings, knots, and quirks. When you choose a Waney Edge table, you're not just getting a piece of furniture, but a story – of the tree, of the forest, and of the hands that crafted it.

That makes for a pretty unique and characterful piece.

3. Craftsmanship at Its Best

At Konk, we take pride in our craft. The Waney Edge table, with its live edges, requires skilled craftsmanship to ensure stability and longevity while preserving its natural beauty. It's not just about cutting and assembling; it's about honouring the wood’s essence.

4. Versatility in Design

While the Waney Edge design leans towards rustic charm, it's versatile enough to complement various interior styles. Whether your home decor is contemporary, minimalistic, or traditional, this table can be a stunning centrepiece.

5. Sustainable Choice

In our commitment to sustainability, using every part of the timber is crucial. By preserving the natural edges, there's minimal wastage. So, there’s no surprise that with the trend of repurposing and upcycling, these tables resonate with our eco-conscious customers.

6. A Conversation Starter

Trust us when we say this – a Waney Edge table will get your guests talking. Its distinctive look, combined with the history and craft behind it, makes for interesting dinner conversation.

7. Investment in Durability

It might look delicate with its uneven edges, but the Waney Edge table, when crafted well, stands the test of time. Bristol's skilled craftsmen ensure the wood is treated and finished to be resistant to everyday wear and tear.

8. Support Local

By choosing a Waney Edge table made by Konk, you're supporting local artisans and a family business based in Bristol. It's an opportunity to invest in a UK-based community venture and contribute to its growth.

Conclusion

There's no denying the charm of a Waney Edge dining or coffee table. It's not just a piece of furniture but a tribute to nature, craftsmanship, and individuality. As you gather around it with your family and friends, you're not just sharing a meal but also the rich tapestry of tales that the table holds. And at Konk, with our commitment to quality and design, you're sure to get a piece that's both a work of art and a functional addition to your home.

So, if you're looking to make a statement with your home, our Waney Edge Dining Tables will provide that wow factor.
