Live-Edge Poplar Desk

This custom desk project brings the beauty of nature into a functional workspace. The desktop, crafted from a stunning live-edge slice of poplar, has been meticulously scribed to fit perfectly within an alcove. Its swirling grain patterns and intricate burrs create a captivating visual texture, while the gnarly live edge retains its natural charm, adding an organic, one-of-a-kind touch.

The surface has been carefully oiled and varnished to achieve a hard-wearing, glossy finish that enhances the wood’s natural beauty while ensuring durability. The desk is supported by three sets of classic black Malm drawers, seamlessly blending practicality with the striking aesthetics of the poplar top.

This piece is a perfect example of combining raw, natural materials with functional furniture design, creating a workspace that is both unique and inspiring.
