Mikal Harrsen Hess Table For Karakter

Mikal Harrsen Hess For Karakter Inspired by a drum kit, Hess melds form and function in one carefully considered design.Award-winning architect and industrial designer Mikal Harrsen came up with the design for Hess after a conversation with a drummer friend who wanted a dining table for his new home. As a result, the large circular table boasts a mechanical steel structure intended to resemble a drum.Trained as a carpenter, Harrsen sought to move away from his wood-making background. Nonetheless, his expertise is apparent in the precise structural design of Hess table, which features three steels legs that intersect to support a stone tabletop. Each adjustment mechanism – such as the screws on the table’s feet – were exaggerated and emphasized as Harrsen deliberately integrated them into the overall design."Hess has a very open expression. It’s a nice, strong structure that you can fit in a big room to encourage people to sit around and enjoy conversation."Product MaterialFrame in powder coated steel,MeasurementsHeight74 cmDiameter160 cmGeneral specificationsEnviromentIndoorRequires assemblyYesImportant information regarding images of products:Please note that some of the images show other colors and variations of the model, these images are only to present interior design proposals.
