Inspired by the intrigue of optical art, this pair of bespoke Lexham bedside tables plays with both the user’s understanding and vision, creating the illusion that the flat tiered sections are warping. The legs’ use of acute angles creates a forced perspective that further piques the viewer’s interest. Fabricated from Corian, the thermochromic liquid sheets are laser cut to size and shape. The inlay surface is also temperature sensitive, going through the color spectrum from deep red to dark blue as it responds to hot and cold.

Apple has really spoilt us silly with their groovy touch interface on phones and digital players. Taking this feel to the next level is designer Arash Karimi with his Wall and Bedside Table Touch Clock. The clock has a one giant App appeal and can be configured and navigated quite intuitively. What makes the design perfect for both wall-mount and bedside table, is the angled display. Sweet!

The following piece of furniture comes with a great name, Tamp & Lable. The pun is obvious as we're looking at this table that comes with a built-in lamp. Or, depending on how you're looking at it, we're looking at a lamp with a built-in table. The table has a very simple design and can easily act as an improvised desk/bed stand in a small apartment although that's definitely not the only use we can think for it. The lamp, with its swiveling mechanism, can bring light to various areas around the table, which could be a handy feature. And we certainly can't ignore the outstanding table legs design, which makes this Tamp & Lable duo even more interesting. Via Florian Kallus

This Plug-in Side Table is not only going to act as a really neat night stand for your bedroom but it's also going to bring light to the room whenever light is needed. Depending on how you're looking at it this Side Table doubles as a lamp or as a bedside table, but either way you're the winner here if deciding to opt for such a design. The only thing that might be a problem is that the Plug-in Side Table might not match the height of your wall sockets so some wall remodeling will be required to accommodate this piece of furniture / lamp. But you like the Plug-in Side Table, don't you? Via Decoist

Your bedroom definitely needs nightstands in its life, but why settle for an old design when you can have the Sognibelli wall lamps installed instead? The Sognibelli lamp can be easily mounted on your wall and thus replace your regular nightstand. Not only does the Sognibelli lamp look great but it's also very eco-friendly as it uses LED lighting. You're going to tell me that you read a lot of books and that shelf there doesn't have enough space for your latest book, your glasses, the alarm clock and who knows what else. But what if you replaced those books with a handy eBook reader, which will also save some forests in the process? That way your storage problems will be solved and you'd get to keep the Sognibelli wall lamp instead of the old nightstand. Via Gumdesign

I have to say that I love this bedside table from Porro Furniture called "Balancing Boxes". It was created by the Swedish design group "Front", whose four members include Anna Lindgren, Katja Sävström, Sofia Lagerkvist and Charlotte von der Lancken. The concept of boxes providing storage and acting as a table top surface is an insightful idea. The way the boxes pivot on themselves melds both art and furniture into one statement.
