Aluminum Side Table

Aluminum Side Table is an innovative furniture piece that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of functionality and contemporary design aesthetics, crafted primarily from anodized aluminum through precision manufacturing techniques. This sophisticated bedside furniture, designed by Czech designer Ondřej Ryšavý, represents a thoughtful approach to modern bedroom accessories, incorporating advanced features such as touch-sensitive lighting and intelligently designed storage solutions. The table's construction involves water jet-cut aluminum components, precisely bent using press brake technology, with a refined finish achieved through sandblasting and anodization processes. Standing at 500mm in height with dimensions of 340mm width and 360mm depth, the table features a distinctive recessed niche alongside a conventional drawer, offering intuitive accessibility even in low-light conditions. The integration of touch-activated illumination in the top compartment demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to user interaction, while the minimalist aesthetic maintains a timeless appeal. This design, which earned the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, showcases exceptional attention to material properties and user experience, particularly evident in its innovative storage solutions and the seamless incorporation of modern technology. The table's development involved extensive prototyping through 3D printing for proportion refinement and careful consideration of electrical engineering challenges in implementing the touch-sensitive features, resulting in a piece that successfully balances technological innovation with practical functionality.
