Product description
This original Modernist bedside table was produced in the late 1940s in former Czechoslovakia by Kovona, based on an earlier design developed by the renowned Robert Slezák company.
What makes this piece especially striking is the suspended wooden cabinet - a compact geometric volume seemingly floating within its elegant chrome-plated tubular steel frame. The deep green finish is beautifully contrasted by the original orange Bakelite handle, while the upper glass shelf adds both lightness and practicality to the composition. The balance between industrial precision and warm materiality is quintessentially Modernist.
Simple, intelligent, and visually bold, this bedside table is an excellent example of Central European Functionalist design. Pieces like this were once an essential part of progressive modern interiors, yet today they have become increasingly sought after by collectors of Bauhaus and early Modernist furniture.
