Hexagon

Hexagon Chair

This chair was designed for the exhibition "The sculptural furniture" in dialog with the beautiful sculptures a by Mr. Bertel Thorvaldsen at Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen. Rasmus Fenhann was inspired by the geometric pattern floors at Thorvaldsen's museum and used ancient Greek mathematic formulas to construct a lounge chair. The shell is an exact section of one of Archimedes' basic mathematical shapes (Truncated Octahedron).

The Chair was later a part of his exhibition "Japanometry" at Galerie Maria Wettergren. The green version of the chair was showed at the exhibition Design without borders" in Kiscelli museum in Budapest.
