With the Tribù Hexagon side tables, Marc Merckx demonstrates how nature remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The design draws its inspiration from the visual impact of the Giant’s Causeway, the iconic rock formation in Northern Ireland recognised by UNESCO: an expanse of hexagonal basalt columns that appear to have been sculpted by a primordial geometry. The teak base of the tables evokes those very natural pillars, reinterpreting them with sophisticated proportions and a honeycomb structure that conveys balance and perfect symmetry.
The glazed lava stone top, characterised by a refined crackle effect, makes each piece unique. The hand-applied glaze protects the surface from water, heat, frost, UV rays and stains, transforming a natural material into a precious and durable element, ideal for outdoor use.
Captivating on its own, the Tribù Hexagon side table reveals its full potential in modular arrangements, where the shapes interlock to create dynamic and multifunctional geometries. Perfect for residential terraces, contemporary patios, Mediterranean gardens, poolside areas or hospitality settings seeking a sculptural detail, Hexagon brings a harmonious dialogue between nature, craftsmanship and design to outdoor spaces.
