Pair of Functionalist Nightstands by Arno‡t Beck for Kovona, 1930s
This pair of elegant nightstands was designed by Arnost Beck and manufactured in the early 1950s by Kovona N.P. These pieces are an excellent example of timeless modernist design and the functionalist era in Czechoslovakia.
The construction combines a chromed tubular steel frame with a veneered wooden cabinet. The raised top shelf, supported by metal brackets, creates an airy and sophisticated appearance. The nightstands feature a practical storage compartment with a door, providing convenient space for small essentials.
The nightstands are in very good original condition with minor traces of wear consistent with age. Their high-quality craftsmanship and timeless design make them a perfect addition to both historical and contemporary interiors.
The price is for the pair.
