That nature is an unlimited source of inspiration for new designs is something Marc Merckx proves with his Hexagon tables. The designer drew inspiration from the Giant’s Causeway, a rock formation in Northern Ireland that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The table’s teak base alludes to the hexagonal basalt pillars of this wonder of the world. Furthermore, Merckx favors sophisticated proportions: hence, the honeycomb, with its perfect symmetry, was his second source of inspiration.

The Hexagon tabletop is crafted from glazed lava stone with a crackled effect that highlights the stone’s natural imperfections. The glaze coating makes the table resistant to water, heat, ice, UV rays, and stains. Hexagon is equally beautiful as a standalone piece or as part of a grouping.
