Pair — Lane “First Edition” Walnut Louver-Front Nightstands, C. 1965

Architecture in walnut. This matched pair from Lane’s sought-after First Edition series reads like modernist cubes—broad tops, canted face frames, and dramatic louvered doors that create deep shadow lines across the front. Each cabinet opens to a generous, unobstructed interior , making them equally strong as low nightstands for platform beds or sculptural end tables beside a deep sofa.

The cases show warm walnut grain; the louvers and integrated center pulls deliver the tactile detail that defines the line. Recessed plinth bases visually “float” the forms while keeping the profile grounded and substantial.
