Roentgen: A Modern Nightstand with Hidden Drawers

Inspired by the Ingenious Works of David Roentgen

The Roentgen nightstand is a captivating piece of furniture that engages the owner in an interactive experience. By unlatching and expanding it outward into the room, a sequence of new spatial conditions is revealed, providing additional storage space and safeguarding personal belongings. The design features a set of hidden drawers that can be accessed by pulling outward the visible section of drawers and turning it left or right, depending on the configuration.

One of the standout features of the Roentgen nightstand is its simplicity, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into any bedroom decor. The design can be customized in a wide range of color and material combinations, ensuring it complements the individual style of each owner.

Constructed using solid wood, the Roentgen nightstand showcases the highest level of craftsmanship. The drawers are equipped with push-to-open technology, providing a smooth and effortless opening experience. The interior of the drawers is lined, ensuring the safe storage of delicate items. Additionally, the nightstand includes a wireless charger in the upper right or left corner, depending on the configuration, allowing for convenient charging of electronic devices.

Measuring at 400mm in width, 480mm in depth, and 480mm in height, the Roentgen nightstand is designed to fit seamlessly into any bedroom space. Its compact size ensures it doesn't overpower the room, while still offering ample storage for personal belongings.

The Roentgen nightstand is the result of extensive research on the works of 18th-century cabinetmakers, adapted to meet the needs and trends of modern furniture production and design. The challenge was to integrate the concept of hidden drawers into a contemporary nightstand without compromising its stability when expanded outward. The final design successfully balances historical references with modern aesthetics and functionality.
