About The Product
"Shroud," a side table envisioned by Toronto based designer Cruz Ali. This piece seamlessly marries form and function, showcasing a minimalist aesthetic that highlights the inherent beauty of its materials.
Crafted from laser-cut and rolled sheet metal, "Shroud" consists of two essential elements: a sturdy base and a sleek tabletop. Both components are meticulously designed to embody simplicity, devoid of unnecessary embellishments. The base, meticulously fashioned from a single sheet of steel, elegantly envelops the tabletop, establishing a seamless connection between the two and evoking a sense of unity and harmony.
This design ethos not only underscores the purity of the chosen material but also serves to elevate the overall aesthetic, resulting in a piece that exudes understated elegance. Aptly named "Shroud," the table partially conceals the tabletop surface within its embrace, inviting contemplation and intrigue
