Editorial introduction
Some useful objects do more than support everyday routines; they change how a familiar setting feels. The Hexagon Trivet protects the table while bringing colour, pattern and creative possibilities to it.
Zone Denmark became a DMI partner in 2024, and this is Story 12 of Design Mode International's 25-year design story series - a considered look at the ideas and objects that make everyday life feel more intentional.
A colourful interpretation of Danish design
Zone Denmark interprets evolving trends by rethinking beauty and functionality for people who share its belief in a profoundly positive life. The outlook appears in an honest and colourful expression that challenges convention, inspires curiosity and embraces exquisite materials.
Zone Denmark work with a hand-picked team of talented Danish designers, combining its own team with a strong external network to create shared enthusiasm and new impulses. The result is a design language that feels open to change while remaining grounded in the pleasures of useful, well-resolved things.
The brand's work has received several international design awards, but its most meaningful measure is more human: design-loving people around the world are what make the work worthwhile.
Design Trio VE2
Editor's takeaway
The Hexagon Trivet turns practical protection into a graphics design element, allowing the table to feel composed, expressive and personal.
The Hexagon Trivet
The Zone Hexagon Trivet is made from silicone and created by the design trio VE2. Its graphic, decorative quality invites people to spread a whole set along the length of the table, even before anything is placed on them; together, the forms begin to compose the setting. The precise details sit quietly behind the visual idea, supporting an object that feels as considered in use as it does at rest.
Product details
The Hexagon Trivet is available in two sizes - L16 x W14 x H0.9 cm and L24 x W14 x H0.9 cm - and is heat resistant up to 250°C. It's dishwasher safe and available in a plethora of colours.
Function with a creative dimensions
The trivets protect the table while also turning table settings into an artful arrangement. They give the table a new and creative dimension, so the practical purpose almost disappears into the visual composition - leaving behind a sense of rhythm, balance and possibility.
Colour, shape and connection
The many colours allow the Hexagon Trivet to be used individually or combined a a set, depending on the mood of the table. It geometry finds a companion in the Triangle Trivet, offering a different shape within the same considered material and colour world. More recently, this design language has extended further still, with the introduction of matching Hexagon and Triangle coasters - brining the same graphic sensibility to the smaller gestures around the table.
A design language that invites curiosity
Zone Denmark's belief in form, function and emotion is especially clear here. The Hexagon Trivet makes a useful object feel expressive, curious and full of possibility, showing how a small everyday gesture can open up a more imaginative way of setting the table.
