Shimmer rounded table is shown here with laminated and glued glass, and in the medium size of the two rounded tables. The collection consists of low tables, low tables and consoles in laminated and glued glass, characterized by a special iridescent multichromatic finish; the nuance varies according to the angle of the light source and the vantage point.
