Beehive Chair
This product is clearly inspired by bees: nature's small, industrious creatures and the way they use space and materials to optimal effect. The hexagon is the obvious choice when strength, space saving and minimal use of materials is required.

I wanted to design a crystal- clear example of my views about using as few resources as possible in a design process. The chair is cast in polyurethane, which - when subjected to the correct casting process - will give a little and mould to the user's body when he/she sits on it.
