We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: We wanted to transform an ordinary object into an artistic yet functional piece of design. We manipulated a polyhedron to give it a complex estructure and all its parts assemblies are accurately manufactured so that it doesn't need any adhesive.
: We wanted to create a product that authentically transmitted modernity, elegance and originality to be used as decoration in any room
: We would like to make our design known internationally, probably make a manufacture agreement and see it in stores.
: About 6 months, it may not seem that difficult to make but landing the idea to a functional object in reality, considering the exact measures necessary to make it possible to arm while maintaining its stability and view was quite difficult.
: We decided to pursuit an inspiration, an object accessible to all public, that even so was striking and contribute to the decoration of the space.
: Right now we are producing it ourselves, we'd like to lease the production rights in the near future so we can use that time to create new things.
: We have always like geometry and symmetry, its something you can see in all of our work.
: Not really, we where influenced by geometry and math.
: Men or women of ages 25-50. Hotels and restaurants.
: We are very proud of this design because it differs very much from other planters because of the materials, way of production, composition and structure.
: The "H" is from Hexagón, the name of the brand it belongs to; the "02" is by the chronological order in which it was invented, is the second product of the brand.
: Computer assisted design, CNC layouts and prototypes and laser cutting for its final production.
: The assembly
: No it was made by us two, Maria Paula Rico and Ana Emilia Hernández, owners of the brand.
: Is the main pillar of its creation, it helped us to visualize our idea and later to test it, polish it and finish it.
: We applied simple calculations into a polyhedron (cuboctahedron) volume
: Most of the time we have an idea in our minds that makes perfect sense, however when we try to see it materialized in real life it turns out that it does not work that well or maybe it is not even feasible to do. This is when we face the challenges of calculating, rethinking and modifying our idea to make it work.
: We like to try our designs in all possible fields, a competition so recognized was a great opportunity to test our design and in the case of being successful have international exposure
: All of our work is a constant challenge and test of perseverance, we learn so many things when overcoming each obstacle.
