This exceptional pair of restored vintage bedside tables combines timeless simplicity with the natural elegance of genuine Carrara marble. Named "Iduna" and "Alaric" by Sinteins, these two pieces of furniture tell a story of craftsmanship, materials, and careful restoration. with their distinctive surfaces, original marble tops, and serene presence, they complement both modern and period-style interiors.
The two bedside tables were discovered on an old farm, where they had remained unnoticed for many decades. Beneath dust and signs of wear lay a solid pair of furniture made of solid wood, beautifully proportioned and featuring original Carrara marble tops. At the Sinteins workshop, they were meticulously cleaned and carefully restored, preserving their original character.
The wood was brushed, revealing the natural grain, which is now clearly visible and tactile. The surface was then treated with a vinegar stain, several fine glazes of lime paint, and a final coat of natural beeswax. This resulted in a matte, vibrant surface with subtle color nuances ranging from warm gray to weathered wood – perfectly in line with the Wabi-Sabi philosophy, which recognizes beauty in authenticity and transience.
A particular highlight is the original white Carrara marble top. Each top has its own natural grain, as well as slight signs of wear, small scratches, and subtle chips along the edges. These characteristics are not flaws, but rather authentic evidence of a long life for the furniture, giving each nightstand its distinctive personality.
The original door knobs were deliberately preserved and harmonize with the newly installed drawer knobs in a classic vintage style. Inside, each cabinet offers a smooth-running drawer and a spacious compartment for books, glasses, or personal items. Despite their compact dimensions, the furniture has a high-quality and substantial presence.
with their minimalist design, the nightstands stylistically straddle the line between rustic functionalism, late Art Deco, and timeless minimalism. This makes them incredibly versatile – they can be combined with linen fabrics, natural wood, modern beds, antique furniture, or Scandinavian design. They are also perfectly suited for boutique hotels, vacation apartments, or stylish guest rooms.
Iduna and Alaric have been intentionally designed as a pair. While Iduna represents renewal and lightness, Alaric embodies stability and tranquility. Together, they create a harmonious whole that extends far beyond the function of classic bedside tables.
