An extraordinary and seldom-seen pair of Vladimir Kagan nightstands for Grosfeld House, these sculptural bedside cabinets represent one of the finest examples of American Mid-Century Modern design from the 1950s. Designed circa 1955, they embody Kagan’s revolutionary approach to furniture—where organic forms, architectural balance, and impeccable craftsmanship converge to create functional works of art.
Expertly crafted in cherrywood, each cabinet showcases Kagan’s unmistakable sculptural aesthetic. The minimalist case appears to float effortlessly atop his iconic intersecting X-form base, a design that has become one of the defining hallmarks of his early work. The warm cherrywood finish highlights the natural beauty of the grain while complementing the clean, modern silhouette.
Each nightstand features a sliding cabinet door that conceals generous storage alongside an open shelving compartment, providing the perfect balance of display and hidden organization. The clean lines and absence of unnecessary ornamentation allow the exceptional proportions and craftsmanship to take center stage.
Originally produced by the prestigious Grosfeld House, these nightstands represent a period when the company collaborated with some of the most important designers of the twentieth century. Authentic examples from Vladimir Kagan’s Grosfeld House collection have become increasingly scarce, particularly matching pairs with their original sculptural bases intact.
Whether used beside a bed, flanking a sofa, or serving as sculptural end tables in a sophisticated living room, these versatile cabinets elevate any interior with their timeless elegance. Their restrained modernism allows them to integrate seamlessly into both contemporary spaces and carefully curated collections of vintage design.
At Hobbs Modern, we seek furniture that transcends function and becomes collectible design. This rare pair of Vladimir Kagan nightstands stands as an exceptional example of post-war American craftsmanship—pieces that are as relevant today as they were nearly seventy years ago.
