Industrial Designer Fengfan Yang’s Table Re-Think with +Halle

It takes guts for a designer to re-imagine something as basic as a table. But Stuttgart-based industrial designer Fengfan Yang has done just that, in collaboration with Danish furniture brand +Halle. “Hang On” is an unconventional table system for public spaces, designed to rethink and simplify the architecture of a table while offering customizable add-ons. In today’s fast-paced society, public furniture must address challenges like accommodating large crowds, catering to diverse needs, and maintaining spatial flow. “Hang On” meets these demands in public spaces such as restaurants, canteens, outdoor venues, festivals, markets, shopping centers, airports, and more. It rethinks and challenges the architecture of table by reducing the table’s components to essential elements provided as add-ons, it allows businesses and users to customize setups with a simple hanging action. The design saves space, facilitates cleanliness, and ensures quick assembly and disassembly. Its extruded profile construction also makes it cost-efficient and sustainable. Incredibly, just last year Yang was an ID student at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart; this year he’s signed a production deal with +Halle, and is also a 2026 German Design Award Newcomer nominee.
