A pair of illuminating bedside tables, Italy, circa 1980
An elegant and thoughtfully conceived pair of bedside tables, designed and crafted in Italy circa 1980. Each table is clad in crisp white laminate, offering a fresh, clean aesthetic that is beautifully offset by warm teak detailing, providing a refined contrast of materials and tones. The minimalist geometry of the design is softened by the natural warmth of the wood, making these tables an appealing fusion of mid-century modern clarity and postmodern flair.
A particularly sophisticated feature is the concealed lighting element, subtle and atmospheric, casting a soft ambient glow above the tables when lit. This integrated illumination transforms the pair into sculptural pieces, capable of setting a serene mood in the evening hours. Functional yet deeply stylish, they embody the quiet innovation of late 20th-century Italian design.
These tables would be striking in a contemporary or transitional bedroom, flanking a low-profile bed upholstered in linen or velvet, or set against a panelled wall in walnut or matte white. Their understated presence and ambient light make them ideal companions for a restful, curated interior. Whether in a city apartment or a minimalist country house, they offer a perfect blend of utility and elegance, with just a touch of retro-futuristic charm.
Condition: some minor chips to the base, otherwise in very good vintage order. Please refer to photographs.
