Hex Chair

  • Oscar Ling-Cottey

One of my latest 3D creations is a concept design for a minimalistic hexagonal chair. This was a small self-initiated passion project of mine based on my interest in industrial design and interior design.

The motivation for this project came to me while I was having a conversation about career aspirations with my friend. I remember saying how one of the many things I want to do in life is design furniture, and so at that moment I brought out my sketchbook and started drawing. While I have very little experience in the fields of industrial design and interior design, Blender allows me to realise my furniture ideas, albeit in the digital realm.

The inspiration behind the design of this chair came one night while I was looking for ingredients in my kitchen cupboards. I found a jar of honey at the back of the shelf, which got me thinking about bee hives and in turn how they are made up of hexagons.
