As an online Sydney- based business we decided to offer complimentary delivery to most areas of Sydney.
Over the last couple of years of delivering items, mostly our best selling bedside tables to our lovely customers we have noticed a few interesting things.
Our bedside tables designed and made in Sydney by Alban & inspired by Pierre Jeanneret's modernist furniture designs.
Firstly, we love meeting our customers! So many have shared that like us they couldn't find quality, stylish bedside tables that would fit in small spaces at a reasonable price.
Even though we sell all over Sydney (and Australia- via our Etsy shop) we do have noticed that we have a couple of hot spots. Unsurprisingly, knowing the popularity of MCM and vintage styles in the inner-west we have many customers in this area. It is the Eastern suburbs and especially the Eastern beaches where we have the most interest.
Many of our customers live in Art Deco apartments where space is at a premium. We have had more than one person ask us to double check the measurements- unconvinced that they could really find bedside tables narrow enough to fit the tight spaces between their bed and walls and excited to find that they did on our arrival and that the bedside tables look like they were made for their apartments.
Maybe this is not so surprising given that Art Deco apartments and modernist furniture design started in the same period, the 1920s.

We have also found that the bedside tables are equally popular in beachside suburbs Bondi, Coogee, Bronte & Clovelly. We are often delivering to different customers in the same streets! I think the tropical woods that the tables are made from give the tables a beachy/ coastal look with a California Cool feel.

Our customers have all sorts of homes aside from Art Deco apartments and coastal homes. We have really been amazed by how versatile they really are, as they seamlessly fit in Victorian terraces to converted warehouses. We are yet to see a home where the bedside tables didn't look immediately right at home.
