Pair of bedside tables in plexiglass — Michel Dumas for Roche Bobois, years

A pair of bedside tables in plexiglass designed by Michel Dumas for Roche Bobois, dating from the 1970s. Entirely made of plexiglass, these two bedside tables rest on a particularly minimalist geometric construction. Their translucent material gives their monolithic silhouette a visual lightness characteristic of plastic furniture from this period. Michel Dumas's work for Roche Bobois is part of a search around plexiglass, which was also used at the same time in various furniture and accessories, including tables, coffee tables, and magazine racks. This production illustrates the interest in industrial materials and their aesthetic potential in the 1970s. The deliberately stripped-down form of these bedside tables is particularly elegant: no superfluous elements, no visible hardware, but a subtle interplay of volume, transparency, and reflections. Placed on either side of a bed, they create a graphic and architectural ensemble. Their size also allows them to be used as side tables or end tables in a living room. An emblematic pair of French design from the 1970s, which will appeal to lovers of plexiglass furniture and Roche Bobois creations from this period. Designer: Michel Dumas. Publisher: Roche Bobois.
