Inspired by three-dimensional origami pleats, they are sustainable, versatile, and flexible collections, encouraging re-use and re-creation to cut waste. A fusion of hexagons with stars (HexStargon), flowery explosions (HexPlogon), and a doubled hexagon (HexXagon) creating a formable acoustic surface with a snake skin’s flexibility, the potential of multiple layers, and embedded air cushion storages.
Spearheading this collection is an architectural desk divider that enhances boring work and living sceneries by not only adding an element of excitement but improving the individual privacy as well as the acoustic landscape. In this manner it enhances the clarity and therefore quality of speech and communication. Due to its accordionesque nature with countless folds and perforations on its sides, it stands as a magnificent diffusor capable of filtering, dampening, and absorbing sound. These folds enable perfect storage capacities for any kind of work items. Consequently, its addition to conference rooms, open office spaces and personal living realms is a catalyst to a whole new living and working experience.
It can be arranged freely following it owner’s preference in numerous positions without feet: upright, sideways, fanned out. And, further, be transformed into a multitude of dramatic shapes, including aero-engine-like spheres, cylinders, curves, prisms, etc. and beyond the presented possibilities. Easily stored away when folded.
