DS Modern Furniture Design Award - Bronze

Smart nightstand with LED lighting and wireless charging

A Philosophy of Infrastructure

Right from the start, SLAICAM do not view the bedside table as a piece of consumer electronics, but as a fundamental element of "Domestic Infrastructure."

In European residential culture, the objects that truly endure are not the most "intelligent," but the most reliable and predictable.

They have stripped away the transience of modern gadgets to create a furniture unit that stands the test of time, prioritizing clarity and functional permanence over fleeting novelty.

Intuition as Standard

From its inception, the DS Bedside Unit was engineered to be an object of "Zero Learning."

We believe that if a user must consult a manual, the design has already failed.

Whether it is the reach of a drawer or the placement of a surface, every element follows a familiar furniture logic that feels like an instinctive extension of the home.

Technology as a Default

They treat modern features-such as wireless charging and LED illumination-not as "tech sell-points," but as essential utilities akin electrical wiring.

Seamless Power: The wireless charging requires no precision alignment; it is simply there.

Functional Light: The integrated LED is not for theatrical atmosphere, but for spatial recognition and nocturnal safety. By treating technology as a "default setting," we ensure it serves the user without ever becoming a distraction.

Proportions That Endure

We approach the creation of this unit through the lens of architecture rather than product design.

This means focusing on clear structural lines, stable geometric proportions, and a harmonious balance that fits into any interior volume.

By utilizing an architectural framework, the bedside table moves beyond being a mere accessory, becoming a stable, structural anchor within the bedroom.

A Companion for Life

While consumer electronics are designed for a single generation of use, the Bedside Unit is built for multiple stages of life.

By avoiding fragile software interfaces and focusing on robust, long-term technical integration, SLAICAM ensures that this piece remains functional decades from now.

It is not a "smart" solution for today, but a reliable domestic companion for a lifetime.
