Made entirely of acrylic glass, these two bedside tables feature a particularly refined geometric design. Their translucent material gives their monolithic silhouette a visual lightness characteristic of plastic furniture from this period.

Michel Dumas's work for Roche Bobois reflects a research into acrylic glass, which was also used at the time in various furniture pieces and accessories, including tables, coffee tables, and magazine racks. This collection illustrates the interest in industrial materials and their aesthetic potential during the 1970s.

The deliberately minimalist 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 iconic pair of 1970s French design pieces, sure to appeal to fans of acrylic glass furniture and Roche Bobois creations from this period.
