The Bedside Book Table is a handcrafted table made from Vermont cherry, blending traditional joinery techniques with a contemporary aesthetic. Designed for placement beside a bed or lounge chair, this table provides a sleek surface for everyday essentials while including a lower “shelf” to display the user’s book collection. The exposed spines can be intentionally showcased, offering both easy access and visual appeal. Each joint is meticulously hand-cut, and edges shaped by hand to ensure durability and longevity. Minimal in design, the table seamlessly integrates books into its structure, inviting personalization and connection to its owner.
