The Hum Tables by KFI Studios is a collection of workplace tables designed in collaboration with Union Design. The series includes lounge, occasional, meeting, and conference tables offered in a range of shapes, including round, square, rectangular, and triangular formats. Each table features a cylindrical pedestal base wrapped in upholstery, paired with softly profiled tabletops in wood, laminate, or solid surface finishes, creating a consistent material contrast across the collection.
The collection includes options for integrated power, USB charging, and cable management within select configurations. Some models incorporate magnetic access panels for connectivity and equipment access. Tabletop finishes are available in multiple stains and colors, while the upholstered bases can be specified in a variety of textiles and materials. The system supports different layouts across workplace settings through its range of sizes, finishes, and adaptable formats.
