Pair of Mid-Century Modern nightstands designed by Raymond Loewy for Hill-Rom, originally produced for high-end medical and institutional environments where durability, mobility, and clean design mattered more than decoration.

These are unapologetically functional pieces with a sharp modern edge — warm wood drawer fronts contrasted against industrial metal cases, finished with original casters. They work just as well as nightstands as they do side tables, studio storage, or statement pieces in a modern interior.

Details:
Designer: Raymond Loewy
Manufacturer: Hill-Rom
Era: Mid-Century Modern
Quantity: Pair (2 matching units)
Drawers: 3 per unit
Construction: Wood drawer fronts with metal case
Base: Original casters
Finish: Warm walnut tone with brushed metal surfaces
Origin: USA

Condition Notes:
Good vintage condition. Light surface wear consistent with age and original use. Drawers operate smoothly. Casters roll as intended. No structural issues. Any cosmetic marks are honest wear and part of the industrial character.

Why This Piece:
This isn’t decorative MCM — it’s real modern design born out of use. Raymond Loewy’s work for Hill-Rom sits at the intersection of Bauhaus logic, American industry, and human-centered design. These pieces feel architectural, intentional, and slightly subversive in a residential setting, which is exactly why they work.
If you want something that looks collected rather than shopped, this pair delivers.
