Aluminum: A Timeless and Functional Side Table Design by Ondrej Rysavy

A Sincere and Timeless Design

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.

In the world of furniture design, Ondrej Rysavy has crafted a masterpiece with his aluminum side table. This innovative piece combines functionality, aesthetics, and a touch of elegance to enhance any bedroom. With its clean lines and minimalist design, the aluminum side table brings a sense of sophistication to any space.

One of the standout features of this design is the emphasis placed on functionality. The side table is equipped with a spacious drawer, providing ample storage space for personal belongings. Additionally, a recessed niche adds an extra layer of convenience, allowing users to store and access items even in the dark with ease and security.

Another unique aspect of this design is the integrated light source in the top compartment. Operated by a simple touch on the table top, this light source adds a warm and inviting ambiance to the room. Its inset position ensures that the light is directed precisely where it is needed, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere.

The realization of this design involved cutting the aluminum with a water jet and bending it on a press brake. The surface of the aluminum is sandblasted and anodized for a sleek and durable finish. The sliders, on the other hand, are 3D printed, showcasing the marriage of traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.

With dimensions of W340 x D360 x H500 mm, this side table is designed to fit seamlessly into any bedroom space. Its compact size allows it to be placed next to the bed without overwhelming the room, while still providing ample surface area for essentials like a lamp, books, or a cup of tea.

Ondrej Rysavy, the mastermind behind this design, has poured his creativity and expertise into every aspect of this side table. From the initial research and 3D printing of prototypes to the challenges of working with aluminum and integrating touch technology, Rysavy has overcome obstacles to bring this design to life.

The aluminum side table is a testament to Rysavy's commitment to creating functional and visually appealing furniture. Its sleek design, combined with its practical features, makes it a standout piece in any bedroom. Whether you're looking for a stylish storage solution or a touch of elegance, this side table is sure to impress.

Designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic, this aluminum side table is a true testament to the craftsmanship and innovation of Ondrej Rysavy. Its timeless design and functional features make it a must-have for those who appreciate the intersection of art, design, and technology.
