By combining a bench and table, the Hopper garden furniture is reminiscent of traditional hop pickers’ habits of sitting at long tables to chat amongst themselves. The innovative design, along with its asymmetric line work, evokes the to-ing and fro-ing that is so much part of the occasion itself. Lastly, four access points allow the user to exit and return with ease.
