Introducing Drip, a highly versatile table ideal for an office space or restaurant
interior.
Hee Welling’s designs are distinguished by the consideration paid to the purpose
they serve. This thoughtfulness has been applied to Drip, a durable table that
has been designed specifically with the contract market in mind. In order to
accommodate an even wider range of interiors, this highly practical piece is
available in two new high table versions, counter and bar table.
Knowing that contract clientele require their pieces to be flexible, Welling devised
a table system that would adapt to different uses. Drip comes as a knock-down
that can be easily assembled within a few minutes. Once constructed, the table’s
recycled aluminium structure allows for a long, slender profile that can be easily
placed end-to-end with additional tables as needed. Such versatility extends to
Drip’s function: it works equally well as a meeting table in an office environment as
it does in a restaurant interior. Cable management is offered as an add-on solution.
Drip’s resolutely minimalist appearance reflects Welling’s design philosophy.
Like all of his work, Drip was created consciously for the environment it lives in.
The result is a visually clean piece, made merging as few materials as possible,
to reduce environmental impact. Only the high-gloss edge band could be
considered a superfluous detail – although, as Welling notes, its shine provides
a light visual effect.
“When you decorate an office or restaurant, it’s going to become messy,” says
Welling. “With that in mind, this table system is made to be as simple as possible
so that it can blend in anywhere and provide calm to its surroundings.”
Drip’s base comes in two options: Black or bronzed. Its table top is available
in Fenix laminate, linoleum, and an oak or walnut veneer. Drip is available as a
dining table with a height of 74 cm, a counter table that stands at 95cm and a bar
table at 105cm. All tables come in several sizes, with extra legs added after three
metres. Drip’s maximum length is five metres.
