HEB Tables, a meeting point for human connection

Jul, 2024 • 2 Min. Read

Some designs that transcend their basic function to become true catalysts for social interaction The HEB Tables by +Halle are a brilliant example of how industrial design can transform into an element that not only occupies a space, but defines and enriches it.

Versatility as a design principle

What makes these tables extraordinary is their surprising versatility. Using extruded industrial HEB beams as a base, the tables come in a variety of heights and sizes, naturally adapting to any environment. Whether in a modern corporate space, a cozy restaurant, or a contemporary home, the HEB Tables find their place with a presence that is both notable and harmonious.

Beyond functionality

The true magic of these tables lies in their ability to act as visual and social anchor points. Their industrial design, far from being cold or impersonal, conveys a sense of solidity and permanence that is strangely comforting. The HEB beams, traditionally associated with industrial construction, are transformed here into design elements that bring character and authenticity.

Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the HEB Tables is their ultimate purpose: to foster human gathering and connection. In an increasingly digital and distant world, these tables act as social magnets, inviting people to come together, share, and create moments together. Their robust yet welcoming physical presence creates an atmosphere that encourages conversation and the exchange of ideas.

The duality of design

The HEB Tables embody an interesting duality: they are both expressive and discreet, striking and subtle. Their industrial design doesn't compete with the environment but complements it, creating a perfect balance between prominence and functionality. This duality is also reflected in their ability to be both focal points and transitional elements in the space.

Building connections

In essence, the HEB Tables are much more than simple furniture. They are facilitators of shared moments, silent witnesses to conversations, meetings, and encounters. Around them, people build that shared world that +Halle seeks to foster with its 'thoughtful' design

The durability of their construction not only speaks to their physical quality but symbolizes the permanence of the connections formed around them. In an ever-changing world, these tables represent points of stability, places where people can pause, gather, and create together.

The HEB Tables by +Halle remind us that the best design is not only one that serves a practical function but one that enriches our daily experience and facilitates the human connections that give meaning to our shared spaces.

Special thanks to my wife and my parents for supporting me, to Cristina Escarrà and Alfonso Pérez Rosales for generously sharing with me their experience as agents, to those clients who, in one way or another, have given me wise advice, to the brands that have placed their trust in me, and to Gonzalo, my godfather, who, with his always generous help, and guiding me throughout this process, is largely to blame for the fact that I can boast of being an “entrepreneur”.

Thanks also to Nuria, Rafa and Guillermo, who, to help me in the hard beginnings of any entrepreneurial activity, have opened the doors of their home, let me share with them a bit of their personal lives when I pass through their cities of residence, and give me free accommodation.

Thanks to all!
