Hopper picnic

Hopper is a new interpretation of a classic concept: the picnic table. Its curved legs make it easy to sit on the benches. The combination of aluminium or steel with grade I hardwoods ensures durability, while the fixed benches provide an elegant look in all circumstances. If you prefer a single-material picnic table, you can opt for the Hopper AA, our 100% aluminium version

Hopper may look like the picnic table everyone knows, but in typical Extremis fashion it offers extra comfort. The four corner passages make it easy to get in and out of the table without having to lift your leg and get in the way of your companions. The angled legs are an obvious reference to the typical hop poles of the Westhoek region (Flanders, B). If you turn around, you can use the table top as a backrest.

Hopper Picnic is available in useful sizes for four, six, eight and ten people. Choose galvanised legs for extreme durability or lacquered aluminium legs for a more refined look. Combine with Hopper Shade for the perfect terrace.

About the woods:
Iroko is an African tropical hardwood. The high quality of this wood makes it possible to produce large one-piece segments for table tops. Its colour and characteristics are similar to those of teak. Extremis works with suppliers who have their own timber concessions and supply only the best quality Iroko hardwood. Continuous monitoring throughout the chain of custody guarantees sustainable exploitation. Like all wood, Iroko gradually becomes rough and greyish due to exposure to sun and rain; small cracks and fissures may also appear as part of this development. Extremis strongly recommends treating the furniture annually with a wood preservative. The natural oil protects the wood from moisture and spills, making it more stable over time and keeping stains to a minimum.

Extremis Hellwood: European ash wood that has been through purgatory to arm it against all kinds of hellish trials. And there are more than enough of them: UV rays, rain and acid rain, fluctuations in humidity, frost, extreme heat, etc. The Extremis preservation process gives the fibres greater internal stability and increases their resistance to decay. This results in a type of wood that belongs to durability class I, just like the best tropical wood.
An interesting side effect of the process is the dark colour of the wood. Like all wood, Hellwood gradually becomes rough and greyish due to exposure to sun and rain; small cracks and fissures can also appear as part of this evolution. Extremis strongly recommends treating furniture annually with a wood preservative solution. The natural oil protects the wood from moisture and spills, making it more stable over time and keeping stains superficial.

* PEFC wood: PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) is an international NGO that promotes the protection and sustainable management of forests around the world. Created in 1999 and present in nearly 50 countries, this certification is the first source of certified wood in the world.

If you prefer a mono-material picnic table, you can opt for the Hopper Pinic AA, 100% aluminium version.
