The Dream Stand
The original function of a bedside table is to provide stability or support in order to hold certain items in our lives, thus giving us a feeling of control. In this design, that function has been contradicted in the way the (bedside) table is now made non-functional. The design of the Dream Stand much relates back to the associations with surrealism and dreams, where there is a less sense of control due to illogical and unexpected happenings. This unreality is then made a reality, or in this case, a real physical object; a non-functional piece of furniture.
