Lehni Aluminium Shelf System - Bedside Table

The Aluminium Shelf System – as a Bedside Table
Originally conceived by Andreas Christen and produced by Lehni for the 1964 Swiss National Exhibition, the Aluminium Shelving System stands as a landmark in Swiss furniture design. What appears here as a minimalist bedside table is, in fact, a compact configuration of this legendary system. Its identity lies in modularity: the table is built from the same precisely bent aluminium sheets and cross-braced structure that give the full shelving system its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio.

Lightweight, tool-free to dismantle, and endlessly adaptable, the system allows for countless configurations—from full shelving walls to discreet furniture pieces like this. Designed for flexibility, it can be expanded with drawers, doors, wardrobe rails, and more—making even the smallest version, like this bedside table, part of something much larger.

Optional side panels available on request.
