The Engima coffee tables offer a contemporary twist on traditional inlay techniques. Hessentia launched the new tables with a code-like pattern, which creates an intriguing optical effect.

Narrow black and white wood tiles are inlaid across the sides of the Enigma tables. This creates a pattern reminiscent of a digital QR code. Technology is undeniably changing the world around us. It is even offering artistic inspiration in the design industry. Hessentia's Engima coffee tables are made by expert craftspeople. They pay tribute to traditional cabinet-making techniques of the 18th century while bringing in a distinctive technologically-informed pattern.

The tables are available in either a natural or glossy lacquered finish and feature a black glass tabletop.
