Sustainable Live Edge Furniture in Asheville& Charlotte, North Carolina


Custom Live Edge Furniture With A Purpose

Crafted with Local, Reclaimed, and Responsibly Sourced Wood 


Appalachian Sourced Lumber

At Rustic River Designs, sustainability is at the heart of everything we build. Our live edge furniture starts with locally sourced hardwoods from the Appalachian region—often salvaged from storm-damaged trees, urban logging efforts, or responsibly managed forests. By choosing reclaimed and regionally harvested materials, we help reduce waste, lower transportation emissions, and preserve North Carolina’s rich natural landscape.

 Natural Beauty That Lasts for Generations 

Unique Custom Tables Across the Southeast


 Each live edge table, bench, and shelf tells the story of its origin—from the contours of the wood grain to the character marks left by nature. We use non-toxic finishes and durable construction techniques to ensure every piece is both safe for your home and built to last. This is furniture meant to be passed down, not thrown away.
