Mikal Harrsen Hess Table For Karakter

About the Item

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."

Table for Artists by Dirk Meylaerts
Located in Geneve, CH
Table for Artists by Dirk Meylaerts Dimensions: W 80 x D 192 x H 74 cm Materials: Pearwood. "I wanted to create a light table that can be used as a polyvalent desk. An elegant solution for this multifunctionality is to make tabletop and feet independent. Moreover, this allows me to give the trestles a sculptural quality. The tabletop is made of pearwood boards glued together, supported by two beams that are fixed permanently with long dovetails. The beams allow the tabletop to breathe freely." Biography: After a short career as an actor and dancer in Jan Fabre’s theatre piece The Power of Theatrical Madness, he decided to pursue a career in furniture making. He studied cabinetmaking at Les Arts et Metiers in Brussels and trained under master cabinet maker Ralf Hillenbrand, who taught him all the technical aspects of the craft. After three years, he began working as an independent cabinet maker and designer, a career that spanned 25 years. In 2003, he organized several auction sales of prototypes by fellow designers, in collaboration with the auction house Pierre Bergé in Brussels. In 2006, he founded D&A Lab, a company that produced limited series of functional design objects, conceived by contemporary artists such as Jonathan Monk, Pierre Bismuth, Ann Veronica Janssens...
