Our hairpin legs

At Ripaton, we offer a whole range of table legs in a quirky, industrial style! Whether you're making a dining table, a coffee table, a round table or even a desk, you're bound to find what you're looking for on our site. There really is something for every taste and desire, from pin-shaped table legs to square table legs, center table legs, trapeze table legs, x-shaped table legs and even mikado table legs.

What's more, our table legs are available in different finishes and sizes to suit all your needs. The hardest part is choosing!

Choosing a model or shape may seem complex at first. In fact, our metal table legs all have their own unique and authentic features.

The first step is to choose the right size for your project (more on this below).

Then ask yourself whether you want a single central leg, two or four.

Then imagine the style you want. We have models in a variety of styles (industrial, sleek, modern, rustic)

Or would you prefer a highly visible model to mark out your decor? If that's the case, turn to our new H-shaped footHabile,or our off-axis Mikado foot l'Ambitieux, or our circular foot l'Harmonieux.

Finally, let your intuition and your desires speak for themselves! Contact us if you have any questions.

Made from recycled French steel, our hairpin legs are precision-bent and guarantee strength and durability, even for heavy tabletops.

Available in several models with 2 or 3 rods, heights from 20 to 90 cm and powder-coated or varnished finishes, they suit all your furniture projects: coffee table, desk, TV stand, kitchen island…

Easy to install, hard-wearing and stylish, they work equally well for home interiors, professional or outdoor use.

Popularised in the 1950s with the mid-century movement, the hairpin leg appeals through its simple design, lightweight look and robustness.

Its slim profile, available in 2 or 3-rod versions, fits easily into a modern living room, a minimalist desk or an industrial ambiance. It is a design classic that never goes out of style.

Every project deserves the right height. Here is a summary table:

Simply screw them under the tabletop (in sets of 2 or 4) for the perfect alternative to standard furniture.

The choice between a standard and reinforced hairpin leg depends on the weight of the tabletop and the intended use:

For demanding projects such as a large family table or a heavy tabletop, choose a reinforced model like LE COSTAUD: reliable, stylish and built to last.

One of the great strengths of the hairpin leg is its versatility. With a single design, you can create an endless range of custom furniture:

• A solid wood coffee table
• A minimalist desk for home working
• A TV unit or lightweight console table
• A clean-lined bedside table
• A modern, functional kitchen island

Whether you’re going for a DIY project or looking to modernise an old piece of furniture, our legs suit every use.

The look of a leg goes beyond its shape. At Ripaton, every detail matters, especially the finish, texture and colour.

Our hairpin legs are available in several finishes:

• Fine black texture – the versatile classic
• Dark matte varnish – for a raw, industrial look
• Glossy white, cream, terracotta, khaki green – for bolder interiors

All our finishes are powder-coated in our Montpellier workshop: durable, eco-friendly and scratch-resistant.

Installing hairpin legs is quick and simple. Each leg comes with its screws and mounting plate. Simply:

• Position the plate under the tabletop
• Mark the drilling holes
• Screw the leg into place

In just a few minutes, your furniture is ready. No specialist tools needed – a drill driver is all it takes.

Yes, our hairpin legs are made from quality recycled steel, precision-bent in our Montpellier workshop. Their 2 or 3-rod structure guarantees excellent mechanical resistance.

The reinforced 3-rod models support significant loads, ideal for solid wood tabletops or family dining tables.

To guarantee optimal stability with hairpin legs, here are the key points:

• Choose a model suited to your tabletop weight (2 rods for lightweight tops, 3 rods for heavy loads)
• Position the legs at the four corners of the tabletop, far enough from the edges
• Use protective pads under each leg to compensate for floor irregularities
• Tighten the mounting screws firmly after installation

The supported weight depends on the chosen model. As a general rule:

• A standard leg (2 rods) comfortably supports a light to medium tabletop
• A reinforced leg (3 rods) is designed for heavy solid wood or stone tabletops

The total load is distributed across all 4 legs. Check our product pages for the maximum recommended weight per model. For bespoke projects or very heavy tabletops, feel free to contact us.
