Hexagonal Coffee Table

Drawn by Huda Athar

This modern hexagonal coffee table combines traditional Turkish geometric design principles with a minimalist aesthetic. The hexagonal form is inspired by Turkish motifs and provides accessibility from all sides, while an integrated recessed tray enhances functionality for serving tea or coffee. The table features chamfered edges for ergonomic safety and a sturdy interlocking leg system that provides stability while maintaining a light, modern profile.
