H-frame coffee table base, cast iron and varnished steel Ø 27 mm
An H-frame for rectangular tabletops
Give your living room real character with this authentically industrial coffee table base, designed for rectangular tops. Its four legs, connected by two side rails and a central bar forming an H, create a sturdy, strikingly geometric base on which you fix the top of your choice (wood, glass…). End table, side table or full-size coffee table: build the piece that suits your loft, workshop or steampunk interior.
An Authentic Industrial Character
Handmade in Annecy, France, from genuine plumbing fittings, every base is unique. Four legs (flange, pipe, tee, pipe and coupling) are joined in pairs by side rails, themselves connected by a central bar: a screw-assembled H-frame with no welding, solid and durable. The leg couplings are fitted with black plastic inserts that protect your floors.
Choosing the right size and height
Size follows the tabletop you plan to fit: allow an overhang of 8 to 15 cm on each side. A 91 × 51 cm base therefore carries a tabletop of around 110 × 70 cm. The smaller the overhang, the steadier the table.
Height follows your seating: 32 cm for a low-slung living room, 42 cm for most sofas — the most versatile — and 52 cm for a deep sofa or an end table. The figure given is for the base alone: add the thickness of your tabletop for the finished height (42 cm + a 3 cm top = 45 cm).
Key Features
Available in 30 size combinations (rectangular footprint) — choose yours above: length/depth from 51 × 35 to 131 × 65 cm, height 32, 42 or 52 cm.
| Pipes | black steel 3/4" (20 × 27), giving an outside diameter of 27 mm — see the table of steel pipe diameters |
|---|---|
| Materials | malleable cast iron fittings, black steel pipes (black or galvanised steel?) |
| Finish | clear varnish applied to the cast iron and the steel alike, leaving the raw metal visible |
| Colour | Grey / anthracite grey depending on the light |
| Top | not included — the flanges are drilled with 3 holes to screw on the top of your choice (wood, glass…) — choosing a floor flange |
| Flange centre distance | roughly the dimension minus 7 cm (in both length and depth), to position the top |
| Floor protection | black plastic inserts under each leg |
| Assembly | delivered part-assembled — a few fittings to screw together on arrival, then fix your tabletop to the flanges (how to screw threaded fittings together) |
| Weight | 5.4 to 8.9 kg depending on size and height (table below) |
The same base, other pipe diameters
This H-frame base comes in three pipe diameters: Ø 27 mm (this page), Ø 34 mm and Ø 42 mm. The thicker the pipe, the heavier, steadier and bolder the base; the thinner it is, the more discreet the silhouette. The same frame is also offered at dining-table height (74 cm).
Details and Specifics
A clear varnish protects the cast iron and the steel while leaving the raw look of the metal visible. Wipe it with a dry cloth; avoid water and abrasive cleaners. Indoor use only.
Pictures featuring a tabletop are staged; only the base is sold.
Slight variations in shade or surface are normal on cast parts: they belong to the raw, authentic character of Home Invasion products, and make every base one of a kind.
Built to order in our workshop in Annecy, France.
Detailed dimensions
The letters refer to the drawings below. All dimensions in centimetres; dimension A is measured from the outer edge of one flange to the opposite flange. Centre distances (B, D) are measured between flange centres — useful for drilling the top.
Tolerance: these are nominal dimensions. How far each fitting is tightened, together with casting tolerances, gives about ±5 mm of variation on each dimension. Measure the assembled base before drilling your tabletop or having it cut.

Would you rather build it yourself?
Nothing here is welded: the base is a set of fittings screwed into one another, which you can redo, extend or take apart. Every part is sold individually in our catalogue, and the pipe lengths are standard references, not special cuts.
The parts of one base:
| Part | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Equal female tee, black malleable iron Ø 27 mm | 6 |
| Black malleable iron floor flange Ø 27 mm | 4 |
| Equal socket, black malleable iron Ø 27 mm | 4 |
| Threaded black steel pipe Ø 27 mm | 13 |

The assembled base, for its part, arrives varnished, checked and fitted with its floor-protection inserts, which are not sold separately.
Adding castors
Castors with a 3/4″ fitting stem screw straight into the bottom sockets, with no drilling and no mounting plate: it is the same thread as the legs, nothing else is needed. You need four, one per leg.
They raise the base: take the castor's overall height minus the roughly 1.5 cm screwed into the socket, which comes to 9 cm more with a 75 mm wheel and 11.5 cm with a 100 mm wheel.
A 42 cm coffee table therefore becomes 51 cm: the height of a side table you move with one hand to run the vacuum underneath.
| Model | Brake | Overall height |
|---|---|---|
| 75 mm wheel, rubber | no brake | 105 mm |
| 75 mm wheel, cast iron | no brake | 105 mm |
| 75 mm wheel, rubber | with brake | 105 mm |
| 75 mm wheel, cast iron | with brake | 105 mm |
| 100 mm wheel, rubber | no brake | 130 mm |
| 100 mm wheel, cast iron | no brake | 130 mm |
| 100 mm wheel, rubber | with brake | 130 mm |
| 100 mm wheel, cast iron | with brake | 130 mm |
Braked models usually go on two of the four legs, diagonally opposite.
