Felix Oval Nightstand

The Felix Oval Nightstand from Four Hands is a slim, open-shelf bedside table built around three oval tiers of polished white marble. A brass-finished iron frame holds the shelves apart and carries them down to round legs with levelers underneath, so the piece sits steady on uneven floorboards. Because the shelves are solid marble, veining and tone vary from one nightstand to the next, and each one is a little different.

The softly rounded outline keeps the piece from reading as a boxy bedside table, and the open tiers let the antique brass show from every side. White marble with warm metal is an old pairing, familiar from Parisian café tables and mid-century consoles, and here it is scaled down for the bedroom. It sits comfortably beside upholstered headboards, painted plaster walls, or darker wood furniture that needs something lighter next to it.

Use the top tier for a lamp and a glass of water, the middle for the book you are working through, and the lowest for a basket or a stack of magazines. With no doors or drawers, everything stays in view, so it suits a bedside kept deliberately tidy. It also works as a plant stand in a hallway, an end table beside a reading chair, or a pair flanking a bed.
