The Hopper is extremely robust, so it can be kept outside all year round. An optional upper awning provides pleasant shade. The fixed benches ensure that the entire piece always stays together as a neat whole. Fixed to the ground, Hopper can also serve as street furniture. The packaging has been designed as a handy tool for the assembly.

The Hopper brings people together and combines functionality with innovation. The Hopper picks up on the recognisability of the long picnic table, but also provides for extra comfort.
With four entry points, there is no longer any need to scramble over benches or table companions. The bevelled edge of the table is an extension of the legs. Anyone who turns around can use the table top as an ideal back rest. The inspiration comes from hop cultivation, long beer tables, Brueghel and the accompanying festivities.
