After the success of the ‘Chairfix’ that they created for the Stussy store in London some years ago, The Wilson Brothers were asked to work on a new product for Stussy Japan. That product is ‘Hextable,’ an occasional table for the home that is made from two identical components that once popped out of their packaging, fold and lock into place to create an incredibly light, yet strong structure.
The structure is made from recycled cardboard and is fully recyclable. Because of its honeycomb core ‘Hextable’ weighs in at an incredible 1.2kg, making it very sustainable for logistics. The product has an all over repeated Stussy pattern which was hand screened in London. The ‘Hextable’ will be launching this weekend, exclusively to Stussy stores in London and Japan. Priced at £55.
