Drip Table design by Hee Welling for &Tradition

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 is available in two finishes: Black or bronzed. The tabletop comes in four options: Fenix laminate, Forbo linoleum, and oak or walnut veneer. For Fenix laminate and Forbo linoleum models, customers can choose matching or contrasting edge bands. Oak or walnut veneer models are also available with a matching wooden edge band, while the HW115-HW117 dining table models feature a solid edge in oak or walnut with a slight overhang for a more residential feel.

Drip is offered as a dining table with a height of 74 cm, or 75 cm if selected with the solid edge, as well as a counter table at 95 cm and a bar table at 105 cm. The Made to order tables are available in lengths up to six meters with additional legs added beyond three metres.

Raised in the Danish countryside, Welling’s lifelong appreciation for the outdoors can be seen in his honest and careful use of materials. This translates to all aspects of his crea-tions, resulting in a simple and honest minimalism that brings a striking visual identity to his pieces. In addition to being exhibited at fairs and museums worldwide, his products can be found in a diverse array of interiors, from the Oslo Opera House to Australia’s parliament.
