Van Nightstand

A round bedside table from Four Hands, built as an engineered hardwood case with a single drawer above an open lower shelf. The drawer runs on side-mounted metal glides and closes softly, and the case sits on an iron frame with leg levelers that keep it steady on uneven floors. The finish is a matte off-white, set against golden brass hardware.

The Van belongs to Four Hands' Belfast collection, which draws on postwar design and mid-century Danish-American styling. Here that shows up as a soft, curved silhouette with a lifted base, so the piece reads light even though the drawer and shelf do real work. The pale finish sits comfortably beside walnut or oak bed frames, linen bedding, and darker walls where a lighter object helps the eye settle.

Use the drawer for a phone charger, eye mask, or reading glasses, and the open shelf for a stack of books or a basket of the things you reach for at night. The top is sized for a lamp and a glass of water. It also works beside a reading chair or in a narrow entry, anywhere a small round surface with a place to stash a few objects is useful.
