Shou Sugi Ban Live Edge Coffee Tables

Crafted from massive slabs of old-growth timber, these live edge coffee tables are finished using Shou Sugi Ban (also known as Yakisugi), an ancient Japanese technique dating back centuries. This traditional method involves charring the wood’s surface with fire to create a deeply textured, carbonized layer that is naturally rot-resistant and fire-retardant.

The process brings forward the dramatic, undulating grain of the old-growth wood, resulting in a dark, architectural finish with a unique sculptural presence. To ensure its place in the modern home, each table is meticulously sealed, preserving the charcoal aesthetic while ensuring the finish is smooth to the touch and will not rub off.
