Pair of 1967 Teak Remploy Bedside Tables with Formica Tops – Vintage British Military Design

A rare and restored pair of vintage bedside tables by Remploy Furniture, dated June 1967 and clearly stamped to the underside. Originally produced for military use, these compact yet durable pieces offer both utility and classic mid-century styling – and it’s increasingly hard to find them as a matching pair.

✨ Features:
• Original Remploy stamp with 1967 date visible beneath
• Solid teak construction, thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and re-oiled
• Durable white Formica tops with a subtle skeleton grey leaf pattern, edged in teak
• Each table has a hidden drawer at the top and a lower shelf, ideal for practical storage
• One shelf has an older glue repair on the underside, clean and structurally sound

Their compact proportions and minimalist form make them incredibly versatile – perfect as bedside tables, occasional tables, or sofa-side companions in modern interiors. The simplicity of the design reflects Remploy’s original utilitarian brief: these were made to be sturdy, efficient, and lasting.

🪑 About Remploy:

Founded post-WWII to provide work for injured veterans and disabled workers, Remploy was known for producing practical, well-built furniture throughout the 1950s–70s. In the 1960s, they supplied much of the military housing stock with lockers, desks, and bedside tables – simple, strong designs in solid hardwoods that have stood the test of time. Their minimalist style and honest construction are now sought after by fans of vintage modernism and British design heritage.

Please carefully read the details and examine the images prior to purchase. All our items have been thoroughly cleaned and de-greased, re-oiled and polished (where necessary) and are fit for purpose.
