It’s easy to see where HATTEN got its name, which means ‘the hat’. The small side table looks like an upside-down hat on legs The ‘brim’ is a lid, and inside the ‘hat’ is room for storage.
HATTEN was designed by industrial designer Ehlén Johansson, and was part of the focus on small tables at IKEA in the early 1990s. The material was transparent plastic, and the table initially came in clear, red and blue. More colours would eventually be added.
HATTEN was launched in the 1995 IKEA catalogue and was last seen in the 2015 edition.
