Elipse White Marble Small Side Table

Founded in 2015, Casa Mineral is a Mexican design house that produces contemporary home accessories from marble to create a luxurious and sensory experience. Casa Mineral’s master stone cutters and craftsmen select and hand-tool every piece, using simple forms and lines to accentuate the character of the stone. 

The long history of humans living and working with stone informs the vision of founders Maritza Lara Cáceres and Daniel Cruz Maldonado, who met when they were 17 years old. The company reflects their shared experiences in interior design management and understanding of how to create spaces as sanctuaries for a peaceful and positive life. The pieces imagined by Lara Cáceres and Cruz Maldonado for Casa Mineral are inspired by the natural world, childhood memories of warmth and togetherness and their travels. 

Lara Cáceres is an architect who has been part of the faculty of the School of Architecture at UNAM and the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-Belleville. She is also the former director of Capital Studio, a firm that specializes in interior remodeling. Cruz Maldonado is the former director of Cotidiano, an interior design firm specializing in turnkey projects.

Seeing what design firms and architects like Menu, Karimoku New Standard and Vincent Van Duysen have done in other parts of the world, they turned their eyes towards the incredible talents of Latin America. Lara Cáceres and Cruz Maldonado established a Mexico City design showroom, Casa Quieta, in 2018. It features Casa Mineral products as well as complementary modern furniture and contemporary decorative objects by Latin American designers.

Casa Mineral has been featured in Architectural Digest Mexico, Elle Decoration, Chic Haus and Design Week Mexico.

Nightstands, which are pieces of bedroom furniture that are often just small bedside tables, are traditionally designed with functionality in mind. Prior to the advent of indoor plumbing, early nightstands contained a porcelain chamber pot in a cabinet that provided a convenient and private alternative to visiting the outhouse. The antique and vintage nightstands in so many homes today are typically low-profile tables that are positioned alongside one’s bed or elsewhere in a bedroom.

A nightstand is mainly used to store or support objects that may be needed at night, such as a phone, a book or a small carafe of water. But this table can easily be personalized. "I’ve got a huge vintage lamp, and when I’m lucky, I’ll have fresh flowers in a bud vase," Chicago interior designer Summer Thornton tells 1stDibs about styling a nightstand.

Whether you take a minimalist approach to bedside table decor or prefer a set of two nightstands topped with stacks of books and other essentials that you'd like to have at arm's length — this furniture can also change the look and feel of a bedroom, rendering any interior more comfortable and cozy.

Practicality plays a prominent role in perfecting your bedside space, but the decision to furnish your bedroom with a cherrywood mid-century modern nightstand or an antique mahogany piece can have an impact on how you start your day.
