Booklover Multifunctional Bedside Table

Booklover

Booklover is a bedside table designed for reading before sleep. The design draws from the open structure of traditional Korean furniture and is adapted to a contemporary context through the combined use of wood and metal. A brass hanger holds a book at the last read page, allowing continuous reading. Integrated lighting provides adjustable brightness and color temperature to support both reading and rest. The design is based on traditional reflections on balance and restrained use of space, which are naturally conveyed through use and reflected in everyday life.

Booklover Multifunctional Bedside Table by Hyunchul Shim has been selected as an exceptional example of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Booklover Multifunctional Bedside Table was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2026.
