The Hopper is a modern take on traditional picnic tables, designed by Extremis to bring people together in comfort and style. It features four pass-through zones for easy access without having to step over the bench, and its slanted legs and tabletop edges are inspired by the hop poles of the Westhoek region. The tabletop can also be used as a backrest.
The first prototype of the Hopper was created almost ten years ago, and it has since been refined for simplicity. The designer, Dirk Wynants, even planted his own hop garden and brewed his own beer, called Tremist, to symbolize the link between authenticity and innovation.
Features
- It is available in four sizes, seating four, six, eight, or ten people.
- There is a version of the Hopper designed for balconies and public spaces, with a single bench and a narrower tabletop.
- It can be combined with a purpose-designed sunshade resembling hop-growing fields.
Applications
Hopper is available in four sizes, seating four, six, eight, or ten people. - For balconies and public spaces in particular, Dirk Wynants has also created a Hopper version with a single bench and a tabletop that is only as wide as its leg. Hopper can be combined with a purpose-designed sunshade bearing strong resemblance to the hop-growing fields. Hopper Shade can also be used as a freestanding sunshade.
Materials
The materials used are FSC labeled hardwood (Iroko) or PEFC labeled (H.O.T.wood), galvanized steel for the frame and the legs, which are also available in powder coated aluminum (white, red, earth color or black). Iroko wood has the advantage that you can make each tabletop segment from a single piece of wood.
