![]() Project assistant: Luisa Kahlfeldt (KG-Design) The angels of the hexagon make it possible to build curved walls and columns. The bricks can be laid flush with each other or in a staggered arrangement. HIVES can be laid in courses and numerous patterns, also referred to as bonds. Using HIVES in a flat orientation means that the hexagonal shape determines the structure and shape of the wall. In the upright orientation, the hexagon creates the pattern of a wall. You can use HIVES in two different orientations – upright and flat. Beehives are modelled from hexagons – it is the most efficient geometry to achieve an almost infinitely expandable structure. My new brick for Mutina is a double hexagon- a shape, which is both geometric and organic. Re-thinking such an old product can be rather intimidating, simply because history is likely to have found an original and most appropriate form for it. ![]() ![]() Project assistants: Jan Heinzelmann (KGID) and Pascal Hien (KG Design)ĭating back to circa 4.000 BC, fired bricks can be considered one of the most ancient building materials. The choice of a particular shade of grey emphasizes the piece’s architectural character and notion of solidity. WALL is made in wood and hand painted exposing the individual brush strokes. Due to its big size and formal diversity it can be interpreted in many ways, depending on the needs or the creative imagination of each individual user. WALL isn’t simply a bookshelf even though it could be used as such. There are elements that resemble a staircase, a supply shaft, windows. The open structure develops on multiple levels including intersecting vertical and horizontal trajectories, forms that alternate open and closed areas. At first glance, WALL looks like the scaled-up model of a high-rise building. WALL is a big vertical structure consisting of three different modules (A-1m, B-2m, C-3m) that can be stringed together in a multitude of configurations: ABC, BAC, CAB and so on. Referring to Magritte provokes us to question our profound perception of the objects we see. The title of the show quotes Magritte’s famous painting of a pipe which is known to be only a picture and not a real pipe. An exhibition entitled “Ceci n’est pas un mur” at Spazio NFQ in Milan presented new limited edition furniture pieces for Galleria Giustini/Stagetti.
