Description: Designed by John Van Koert for Drexel’s iconic “Projection” line, this refined pair of Mid-Century Modern nightstands showcases the crisp, architectural look that defined late-1950s/early-1960s American design. Each stand is crafted in walnut with a sleek, slightly overhanging top that creates a subtle floating effect, framed by sculpted corner posts for a clean, tailored silhouette. A single dovetailed drawer with a brass-toned pull provides everyday bedside storage, while the open lower cubby keeps the piece feeling light and functional. Tapered legs lift the form off the floor, giving the pair that airy, modern stance that works beautifully in both vintage and contemporary spaces. Expertly refinished, the walnut grain reads rich, warm, and beautifully even throughout.

Fun Historical Fact Drexel’s “Projection” collection was designed by John Van Koert and is widely cited as being sold from roughly 1957–1960, making it a relatively short-run line that collectors love for its distinctive details. Van Koert is also closely associated with Drexel’s “Profile” and helped push Scandinavian-inspired modernism into mainstream American interiors during the mid-century boom. Pieces from Projection are often recognized by their knife-edge, “floating” tops and sculptural legs—small design moves that made everyday case pieces feel elevated and architectural.
