Postmodern Modular Nightstand by Paolo Portoghesi , Italy 1980s

Creator: Paolo Portoghesi
Offered by: MA+39

Description
Postmodern crafted modular side tables or nightstands by Paolo Portoghesi featuring intricate joinery and a unique pull-out design. Made from two contrasting woods—likely maple and walnut or cherry—the piece highlights its construction with exposed dovetail joints throughout, offering both structural integrity and visual appeal.

The primary unit includes a small drawer with a circular cutout pull and a recessed section that houses a nested, pull-out cube. This secondary unit functions as an extension surface or additional open storage. Both pieces are finished with rounded corners and dark wood edge trim, enhancing the organic, handcrafted look.
