Here are three of the top reasons our customers choose Formaspace to handcraft their live edge furniture projects. Make a Signature Design Statement: There's no question about it. Specifying live edge furniture for the office sends a powerful message about your company and your brand. Live edge furniture is not for the meek. It makes a powerful, engaging, eye-catching, memorable, and unique statement. On Trend Aesthetic Design Elements: Prevailing design trends make live edge furniture the right choice, thanks to its use of unique, one-of-a-kind recycled natural materials that incorporate popular mid-century modern design aesthetics and biophilic design elements. Commitment to Sustainability: Reclaimed wood slab tables, desks, countertops, and conference tables tell a story about your company's commitment to sustainable business practices that are hard to ignore. Formaspace takes this very seriously. Unlike some of our competitors — who have been found to be harvesting virgin trees in sensitive forests (such as those in Brazil) — we only supply wood for live edge projects from local American trees that have fallen due to natural causes.
