Description
These wide Danish teak nightstands—originally produced by Lyby Møbler—have been fully reimagined as one-of-a-kind custom creations, transformed through an artisan restoration process that elevates them far beyond standard mid-century examples. Each piece is now as much functional sculpture as it is furniture, striking a balance between historical authenticity and bespoke modern craftsmanship.
Unique Customization
Unlike typical vintage nightstands, these examples have been meticulously adapted into unique originals. Brand-new, custom-fabricated legs were designed specifically for this project and installed with insert nuts, ensuring both structural longevity and elegant proportion. The result is a stance that feels airy and architectural while enhancing stability and visual poise. Their updated silhouette makes them truly one-off pieces—tailored to exist nowhere else but here.
Finished on All Sides
Every surface has been considered. These nightstands are fully finished on all sides, allowing them to float in a space rather than be restricted to wall placement. This feature not only increases their versatility—as bedside companions, living room side tables, or gallery-style pedestals—but also underscores their identity as sculptural objects meant to be admired in the round.
Craftsmanship & Restoration
The original teak cases were carefully sanded and hand-oiled, reviving the wood’s golden glow and dramatic grain patterning. Drawers glide with ease, fitted with Lyby’s recessed pulls that keep the design sleek and tactile. The open lower cabinets remain versatile, offering display potential for books, ceramics, or art objects. The restoration was executed with museum-like sensitivity while embracing bespoke intervention—ensuring that these pieces honor their Danish modern roots while projecting contemporary individuality.

Why They Stand Apart
While Lyby Møbler furniture is already rare within the Danish modern canon, this pair is now completely unique—redesigned through thoughtful craftsmanship into bespoke originals. They are not simply restored vintage furniture, but custom heirloom objects that bridge mid-century history with present-day artistry.
For collectors and interiors that demand distinction, these wide teak nightstands offer something truly irreplaceable: Danish design heritage reinterpreted through contemporary craft. They stand as singular works—functional, sculptural, and utterly one-of-a-kind.
