shields coffee table
Design Oki Sato-Nendo,
2018
The Shields table is marked by a strong sculptural imprint which recalls examples of contemporary sculpture of the Seventies. Designed as a geometric volume, in the shape of a cylinder divided into two offset parts, it is complemented by a shield in curved steel sheet with Black-Nickel finish.
An interplay of black and white characterizes the two offset semi-circles, both on the top and on the internal vertical section, thanks to the contrasting shades between the Pewter glossy-lacquer and Sand.
Available in two heights and with different proportions, Shields belongs to that family of artistic furnishing accessories that give more character and personality to any living room. With its metallic reflections it animates the elements with which it enters into dialogue.

Oki Sato is Japanese. But his huge talent and distinct design touch have made him widely recognised on the international design scene. In 2012 he was announced Designer Of The Year by both Wallpaper Magazine and Elle Deco International Award. Oki Sato is the man behind the fusion collection for BoConcept - a unique design collection that is inspired by origami and fusing different elements. It’s the perfect blend of two great design cultures: Japanese aesthetics and Danish functionality.(Born in Toronto, Canada,in 1977).
Minotti was founded in the 50’s and born out of the vision intuition of Alberto Minotti. Its original artisan dimension soon changed and from the 60’s the company acquired an industrial character and size. In the 70’s, sons Renato and Roberto Minotti took it to another level by kick-starting the company’s expansion and garnering recognition for the brand in Italy and overseas. In charge of the company’s strategies, the Minotti brothers shared creative styling and aesthetic principles with architect Rodolfo Dordoni, who has been overseeing the collections since 1997. The key to the Minotti identity lies in its ability to express the Made in Italy concept to perfection, melding tradition and technology in an indissoluble way: artisan expertise puts the finishing touches to a product that is made using cutting-edge production methods, while intelligent hands lend sensitivity and emotion to industrial precision. Added to this high-level know-how is the careful selection of materials and technologies, which reveal a penchant for impeccable details, in an ideal striving for excellence that involves all sectors of the company. Recognizable features of the trademark Minotti style and products are a timeless design, unparalleled comfort, reliability and the ability to stand the test of time. These are the distinctive hallmarks that have made Minotti a leading manufacturer and seller of furniture and upholstered furniture which are distributed through an international network of trade people who are familiar with the recognition earned by the brand in 60 years of history. A recognition that has further strengthened the brand’s position in an ever more demanding, competitive and global market. This is why Minotti continues to be a mainstay for a discerning public who recognizes that a unique way of imagining and living the home is embedded in the brand’s unique lifestyle.
