About Aluminum Side Table

Aluminum is a bedside table designed to make storage simple and easy to reach. The table is fitted with a drawer and a recessed niche, so items can be put away and found even in the dark. An integrated light source in the top compartment is operated by touching the table top, and its inset position lights the surrounding space. The body is cut from aluminum with a water jet and bent on a press brake. The surface is sandblasted and anodized, and the sliders are 3D printed. The table measures 340 by 360 by 500 mm.

Production Technology: The aluminum used was cut with a water jet and bent on a press brake.The aluminum surface is sandblasted and finally anodized. The sliders are 3D printed.
Design Challenge: The most difficult point was shaping and working with aluminum and integrating touch technology.
Project Duration: The product was designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic
Operation Flow: Easy touch switch and easily accessible storage spaces.
Opening the drawer is intuitive and more individual, because it does not focus on the solid handle and the touch switch motivates to touch, which makes the bedside table more intimate.
Research: In early creation, 3D printing was used to create a model, which was then used to determine ideal proportions.
In the next phase, it was necessary to solve the resistances in electrical engineering during the implementation of the touch switch and achieving the correct function.
Inspiration: The goal was to create a product with a sincere and timeless design. The aim was to highlight the essence of the product and to make the time spent on the bed more pleasant.
