HK-2 side table, Hank Kwint, 1980

Designed in the 1980s, Hank Kwint's HK-2 table for Metaform embodies a formal balance that is both radical and elegant. Its circular tempered glass top cantilevers over a cylindrical metal column, itself anchored in a cubic black stone base. This geometric interplay of circle, cylinder, and cube creates a strikingly understated architectural silhouette, typical of Dutch design of the period. Both graphic and minimalist, the HK-2 displays a controlled aesthetic, where each element interacts within a restrained sculptural tension.
