Furniture Design Plato Aristotle Bedside Tables by Daniele Mezzetti Plato and Aristotle is a pair of bedside tables designed for the bedroom wall. The two pieces are used together, yet they develop in opposite directions. Plato rises upward, and a rectangular ring surrounds and supports the structure. Two drawers sit in the lower part, while three small shelves in the upper part hold books or decorative objects. Aristotle extends downward, and a similar ring acts as a leg resting on the floor, with one shelf for small items. The structure is metal, and the tops and drawers are wood.
