Story
A compact crossing structure
Shanghai Tip balances a small round top on a network of slender tubular supports. Patricia Urquiola's composition makes the crossing frame visible rather than hiding it beneath the surface.
Steel and powder coating
Code 243 combines a steel-plate top with a powder-coated tubular base. Eight powder-coated colour choices are available, allowing the compact table to retain the same structure while changing its surface character.
