Inspired by a drum kit, The Hess melds form and function in one carefully considered design.

Award-winning architect and industrial designer Mikal Harrsen came up with the design for The 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 The 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.

“The Hess has a very open expression,” explains Harrsen. “It’s a nice, strong structure that you can fit in a big room to encourage people to sit around and enjoy conversation.”
