Starting with my own circumstance, this piece was designed to be parametrically adaptable to the subtle differences that exist between bedside geometries.
In our world of electronic devices, the strategies for table space next to where we sleep are probably more important than ever. It is not particularly healthy to sleep with your phone next to your bed. At the same time, the idea of having a storage area that restricts the emission of ambient light from devices into the room seemed like a practical and helpful feature in an age where watches, alarm clocks, phones, and ipads all conspire to take up space and pollute a healthy sleeping environment with excess light.
I've come to realize over time the consideration of tolerances with parametric CNC design is very important. When done correctly, the CNC box jointing process is sufficiently precise, to avoid the need for adhesive on most furniture all together. If you'd like to hear more about that process.

Thanks for checking out the work.
