The Vetona height-adjustable side table, signed by designer Rubén Mateos Brea, embodies a rare balance between technical precision and a profound personal narrative. Drawing inspiration from his grandfather’s workshop in Extremadura, Spain, and the anthropological roots of the Vetones—a pre-Roman metallurgical people—Brea has transformed the traditional bench vise into both the central symbol and the functional core of the design. This dialogue with the heritage of Italian masters such as Castiglioni and Mari elevates purely industrial components, such as exposed screws and the characteristic hammered green lacquer, into an aesthetic experience. Vetona is thus more than just a piece of furniture; it is a carrier of collective memory, bringing the warmth of solid wood and the story of authentic craftsmanship into modern interiors.

The versatility of the Vetona collection lies in its ability to adapt naturally to the dynamic needs of contemporary professional and residential spaces. Thanks to its intuitive crank and gas-assisted lifting mechanism, the table’s height can be seamlessly adjusted between 50 and 72 cm, making it an ideal companion for sofas and lounge chairs—whether as a laptop surface, a reading support, or a stylish side table. The choice between round or rectangular tabletops in various finishes allows for the creation of harmonious compositions in both compact and expansive environments. Vetona thus represents a timeless solution where material, function, and narrative coexist in perfect harmony with modern ways of working and living.
