The Hexagon is the New Black

The hexagon is taking over all things interior at the moment; from tiles to paneling, from wallpaper to shelving... there are lots of ways to use this geometric delight in your home or commercial environment.
Like the well-loved rectangular subway tile, it is still a classic shape that can cross traditional and contemporary divides easily, but somehow is just that little bit more fun...!

Gwyneth Hulse Design

Last week I stumbled across the gorgeous wares of Northland based designer and maker Gwyneth Hulse Design. I love the clean, minimalist, graphic lines of her work - a little bit of natural wood and a little splash of colour - this combo gives a retro vibe that we're really digging!

Adjustable geometric wall coverings by DSIGNIO

Geometry lovers rejoice! Dsignio has created a new collection of wall coverings called 'Gen' and it’s a geometry enthusiast’s dream come true.

Based on science and genetics, GEN is a modular wall covering system which can be pieced together to create different patterns using minimal elements. It was inspired by genes within nature, and how only a few core amino acids can combine to create different genomes and species.

As a result, it’s not only just a wall covering, it is a way of covering walls. It adapts to the owners’ tastes, and can be put together a dozen different ways to offer a variety of shapes and visual games.

Lenneke Wispelwey Ceramics

Dutch designer Lenneke Wispelwey founded her studio in 2008 in Arnhem.

Her pastel coloured products with mathematic/geometric patterns are the result of a very low-tech way of designing. 

Lenneke finds a basic, simple approach to techniques and materials very important to communicate her vision and her way of working. She prefers creating a family of products because as an only child she had always a desire for a bigger family. 

Her work is also known for the use of different shades of one colour, and playing with the contrast between biscuit and glazed porcelain. She creates honest and harmonious designs, inspired by her own memories and found pieces from every day life. 

She feels her work should make people smile - we agree!

Coloured Wooden Rugs by Elisa Strozyk

German designer Elisa Strozyk keeps crafting beautiful textiles made out of a surprising material wood!  Her coloured wood rugs are another piece to add to her large wooden material collection. Each rug has numerous triangles that are dyed and arranged to form various geometrical patterns. Each rug can either lay flat or be sculpted around the triangles sides to make pieces of art right in your living room.
