Capiz Black Side Table | Accent Stool | Online8 New Zealand The darkest of the Capiz pieces — a cylindrical form with a geometric capiz shell inlay set against black. Because capiz is translucent, the shell catches light where the black absorbs it, so the geometry reads sharply rather than blending in. The rounded top gives you a genuine surface, and at 450mm it works as a side table beside a sofa or as extra seating when it's needed. Why It Stands Apart Geometric Shell Inlay: Capiz laid into a geometric pattern that stands out against the dark ground. Cylindrical Sculptural Form: Reads as an object in its own right, not just a surface on legs. Stool or Side Table: Takes a seated adult or a lamp and a drink equally well. Compact 350mm Footprint: Slots into gaps where a conventional side table won't go. Specifications Colour Black Material MDF with Capiz shell inlay Dimensions 35 (L) x 35 (W) x 45 (H) cm One of four Capiz shell pieces, each with its own pattern and height: the Capiz Black & Cream (450mm), the Capiz Circle Patterned (500mm), and the Capiz Tan & Gold Pedestal (400mm). Frequently Asked Questions What is capiz? Capiz is a thin, translucent shell traditionally used across Southeast Asia for lampshades, screens and inlay work. It has a soft pearlescent quality that changes with the light. How does it differ from the Black & Cream version? Same height and footprint, different pattern. This one is all black with geometric shell inlay; the other sets a diamond pattern across black and cream. How do I clean the shell inlay? Dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid soaking it or using solvent cleaners, both of which can lift or cloud shell inlay over time. How is it shipped? We ship nationwide. More shipping options are available at checkout.
