It is designed as a geometric volume, in the shape of a cylinder divided into two offset parts, complemented by a shield in curved steel sheet with Black-Nickel finish.

The structure is contoured MDF with the exterior sheathed in steel sheet in a polished Black-Nickel finish. The two semi-circular tops have a glossy Sand lacquer finish and a glossy Pewter lacquer finish. The base is made of MDF lacquered matt Black, with protective felt slides.
Specifications
Two finishes make up the tops, Sand and Pewter, set against the Black-Nickel steel.
Story
Sculpture of the Seventies
The Shields table is marked by a strong sculptural imprint that recalls examples of contemporary sculpture of the Seventies. It is designed as a geometric volume, a cylinder divided into two offset parts, with a curved steel sheet shield in Black-Nickel finish.
Black and white offset semi-circles
An interplay of black and white characterizes the two offset semi-circles, on the top and on the internal vertical section, through the contrasting shades of Pewter glossy lacquer and Sand. With its metallic reflections the table animates the elements with which it enters into dialogue.
