Following two years of machine work and polishing, the success of the chair led us to expand the Hex series into a wider limited edition collection, including the Hex Table, Hex Shelf and even a bathroom sink. Each piece begins as a solid block of the highest grade aluminium, made specifically for the project, which is then milled down over the course of several months using a specialised 5-axis CNC cutting process. The subtle faceted surfaces that define the series are then hand polished to achieve their precise line divisions, before receiving a one-particle coating to protect the finish while maintaining the gloss surface. The result is a family of objects that feel entirely digital in their geometry yet deeply crafted in their making.
