La * console d'appoint*, modulable à souhait, permet de varier les postes de travail (bureau, lit, méridienne).
Elle peut se transformer tout aussi aisément en table de chevet ou/et table basse.
Can I call this simply a console? A cabinet? An adjustable cabinet?

side console table
I would call a table d'appoint a side table, and a console a console table. This seems to be a combination of the too, and the expression side console table is used.
A modern example can be seen here:
"A side console table with a shelf for display or storage."

Note from asker:
| Thanks - this makes sense. Elsewhere they call it a "nomade" - "S'adapter aux styles de vie des clients en diversifiant les espaces de travail (lit, bureau, méridienne) enrichis d'éléments modulables et nomades (console d'appoint multi fonctions)." - I cannot find this designation in EN - do you knwo if this exists, if this is the same thing? If not, I'll open it as a new question. |
| Sorry, I just saw my mistake - meaning it can be moved around and adapted. Truly tired and ineffective translator on this side, apologies! |
