'Truck' bedside table

Piero Lissoni / Porro

Price on request

In the hands of the right designer, space-saving storage solutions can be both effective and visually pleasing. With the Truck bedside table, the Italian architect Piero Lissoni reworks the quotidian bedside table by fusing a matt lacquered square and rectangular cupboard to form a pair of split level spacious drawers. Of course, the humour of the piece is that, from certain angles, the drawers also resemble the chassis and container of a truck. If space is at a premium, the lower rectangular portion of the table can be pushed neatly out of sight under the bed. That's the kind of bedroom tricks we don't see enough of.
