Story
Interlocking geometries
Minotti defines Helene through the interlocking of its top and polished stainless-steel base. Circular and square versions pair their respective top shape with a cylindrical or cubic support.
Storage at the centre
Rather than hiding storage below the surface, Helene places a polished-steel tray inside the top. The mirror sheet supported by MDF forms its upper surface, making the inset a visible part of the table's composition.
