The Shirudo Coffee Table is conceived as a low, composed volume, its silhouette defined by folded metal planes that suggest a protective, shield-like form. Executed in finely finished steel, its edges, seams, and junctions remain deliberately exposed, allowing the method of construction to inform the object’s character. This restrained emphasis on structure and material truth is emblematic of Mingardo’s design vision, where metal is shaped with clarity, discipline, and quiet authority.
