Hexi-Balls!
What’s has 8 hexagonal faces 4 square faces, 36 edges and 24 vertices and sort of round all over…its a truncated octahedron! What looks very complicated to make… is indeed very complicated to make.
The studio focused on choosing a pattern found in nature and giving it an everyday function. We re-purposed the truncated octahedron as a planter that can be stacked and assembled several different ways and fastened together with earth magnets. The planters themselves were made of hydrostone plaster.
