When envisioning the Pippi Nightstand, designer Ingemar Hagen Keith of Marmar Studio was guided by the silhouette of their cat Pippi's back. Through abstracting that silhouette into a simple but evocative shape, the nightstand showcases a striking contrast between volumes and surfaces heightened by the use of both oiled beech and whitewashed maple. A signature button-nose drawer pull reveals the space that the drawer handle occupies when opened.

Life/Design
We're not ready to open up the drawers of our nightstands with you, but we thought we'd share what's on top...
Poetry and more
The surface of Grace's nightstand is hardly underutilized. Currently she makes space for a copy of Border Vista Poems by Anni Li, a Lavender Moleskin journal, chapstick, plus a booklight and water glass her cat Penny loves to paw over.
Silver ridge aloe plant
Jean moved a struggling aloe plant to her bedside table because she was worried it needed more direct sunlight. Unfortunately, it now seems to be doing a little worse.
Story Collections
After finding both collections to be better enjoyed story by story (rather than cover to cover), Madeleine keeps Lucia Berlin's A Manuel for Cleaning Women and Clarice Lispector's The Complete Stories at arms length on her nightstand.
