This sling nightstand from CB2 was created in collaboration with School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and is a functional storage solution for magazines and loose papers.
The furniture piece can be displayed in bedrooms -- as a nightstand -- or in living rooms where it can serve as a practical side table. SAIC's collaboration with CB2 is part of the educational institution's Designed Objects curriculum and is a partnership that "explores an awareness of surfaces."
Featuring a durable, iron frame, this leather sling nightstand is adorned with a brass finish and is a contemporary design solution that is not only functional for storage but also aesthetically striking. The piece references retro design styles and is a lightweight item that can be used in multiple spaces.
