KALEIDOSCOPE LIVING

Design duo Doug Boytos and Quinn Ferebee started Live Edge Wood Designs in 2015 to showcase their passion for building custom furniture and woodworks that use a tree’s natural edge. Whether crafting a kitchen counter for a residential home or dining tables for a restaurant, they let the shape and natural elements of locally sourced North Carolina salvaged wood dictate what the end result will be. View their handcrafted pieces in the Live Edge Woods Designs Raleigh showroom Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–3 p.m., or online at liveedgewooddesigns.com. See examples of their work via Instagram as well @live_edge_wood_designs.

“Building modern heirlooms, the pieces we build are intended to last more than a generation. It’s a centerpiece; it’s intended to be handed down. Everything is handmade by the two of us with local materials, and every piece is one-of-a-kind, like a work of art.”
