Roentgen

Nightstand for Nataliia Pleshkova

Roentgen is inspired by the works of David Roentgen, German cabinetmaker who was famous for the creation of mechanical furniture with secret drawers and compartments in the 18th century. Even thought the design of the nightstand is simple, it involves the owner in the process of unlatching and expanding it outward into the room to access a set of hidden drawers, which offer additional useful storage space and protection for personal belongings. Thus, historical reference is reinterpreted in terms of current trends, needs, materials, and modern technologies.

The design is simple and can be performed in a wide range of color and material combinations.

Production Technology

Material used is solid wood. Available in custom type of wood and finish. Push to open technology for drawers.

Design Challenge

The challenge was to integrate the idea of having a secret set of drawers in the modern nightstand, but at the same time not to create a massive piece of furniture as it was in the 18th century, and to make a construction stable when it expands outward.

Project Duration

The concept was developed and visualized in January 2020 in Miami.

Operation Flow

The nightstand has 2 sets of drawers - visible and hidden. If a fake bottom drawer is pulled outward, the hidden set of drawers will appear. Thus, it has 1 large drawer with built in recharges for electronic devices, 2 visible small drawers, and 5 hidden small drawers. So, personal belongings can be stored out of sight, keeping the home tidy and organized. All the drawers are lined and the quality metal runners ensure they run smoothly. There is a wireless charger in the upper right/left corner (according to configuration).

Research

The project is a result of research on works of 18th century cabinetmakers adapted in terms of current trends and needs in the field of furniture production, technologies, and design.

Inspiration

The inspiration came from the works of David Roentgen, German cabinetmaker whose design innovation in the creation of ingenious pieces of mechanical furniture with secret drawers and compartments operated by hidden springs and levers made him renowned throughout the ruling houses of 18th century Europe.
