Live Edge Furniture {and a new type of wood flooring}

After a great field trip last week to Meyer Wells (a business that builds modern furniture from reclaimed urban trees), I've been gathering inspiration of furniture with a live edge:

But here's the best part. While searching online, I discovered something that I think is SO cool...and I think you will too if you haven't heard of it already! 

It's called Bolefloor. Straight from the description on their website (because they explain it way better than I could): Bolefloor is the world’s first industrial-scale manufactured hardwood flooring with naturally curved lengths that follow a tree’s natural growth. 



How cool is it!??!? I think it adds so much personality to the floor. I'm dying a little bit over here. I've loved wide plank wood flooring for awhile, but this just takes it to whole a new level. AND it's better for the environment, because its curved edges allow more floors to be made per forest. Woo.  

So, what do you guys think of live edge furniture and this new flooring
?

Great pictures and I love Bolefloor. I've never heard of it. We are always looking for new ideas because we are always dreaming about doing another great project. Thanks for the research.

Wow, that floor looks great! I'm not sure my home could handle the rustic furniture, but the floor is a bit more subtle in it's rusticity ;-)

I'm getting ready to purchase a live edge dining table for my new house and I LOVE the rustic feel of it! Never heard of Bolefloor but the floors are gorgeous :)

Ahh.. That looks nice. It gives a very steady feel and looks for your home; quite formal, I suppose. I love how it can help the environment, hopefully, many people will choose this for the welfare of our environment. Don't you think?

Our office in Karachi needed a complete furniture overhaul, and Multiwood was the perfect choice. We ordered everything in bulk, from desks to chairs and storage solutions. The quality of the furniture is exceptional, and it’s clear that they are built to last. The ergonomic design of the Office chair
has significantly improved our team's comfort and productivity. What impressed me most was the timely delivery and installation service. We will definitely be coming back for any future needs.
