  • We’re celebrating the unique West Australian coastline we call home, with a limited-release collaboration with designers Tom Mark Henry. Our self-stabilising tech embodies a new, elevated form representing the undulating shapes of WA’s varying coastal landscapes and a rich, timeless colour palette. Western Australia has varying coastal landscapes, from rugged rock formations to vast sand dunes leading to wild grasses and Peppermint trees. The NRxTMH table base uses NOROCK’s patented next-generation mechanical self-stabilising technology with a design inspired by the undulating formations, organic textures and timeless colour palette of the isolated coast we call home to create a uniquely West Australian aesthetic.
