YOUNG TALENT: ALFRED BEDSIDE TABLE

A lovable bedside table with integrated lamp

French design giant CINNA hosts an annual competition for young designers, awarding four jury prizes across two categories (lighting and small furnishings) as well as two People’s Choice awards. For the 2014 edition, the People’s Choice award for small furnishings was given to a discreet but adorable side table named Alfred.

Alfred is the result of a collaboration between three students from IUP de Montauban: Pauline Pinto, Cédric Guillemin and Benjamin Voisin. With its integrated light and lampshade made from polished copper, Alfred is the perfect bedside companion. To lower the intensity of the light, the lampshade is simply pushed down. The lower the lampshade the lower the intensity. It’s a natural action that encourages the user to interact with the object, evoking the idea of extinguishing a candle. The action is possible thanks to a telescopic stem and a system that turns the light off when the lampshade comes in contact with the table top. An appealing aesthetic and practical function, we’re not surprised that it stole the public’s collective heart!
