Heksagon 6G is a modular system of wooden decks for relaxation, lying and sunbathing.
It came into existance as a result of a longterm study of coast or embankment rearrangements with non-invasive methods which have been our key-study for a decade. We developed a product design as an alternative solution to the conventional praxis of the overuse of concrete as the basic construction material.
The arrangements of coasts with concrete-works is irreversible process. To this day, there is no method known which could recover the coast to its pre-condition or to enable its renaturalisation, that is why we propose a product which could prevent the devastation of coasts and at the same time cultivate it in a highly ecological, functional and aesthetical manner.

We present you the product design solution in form of hexagonal wooden modules dimensioned upon the human body measures. Individual modules can  be organized to form islands of different sizes and to adjust to the site's terrain.

The base of the module is a hexagram with a side length 1,5 m and area of approx. 6,0 m2 which  make a geometrical body of hexagon with gently inclined upper surfaces adjusted to the human body in lying position. Single module dimensioned for max. 3 persons consists of wooden construction covered with wooden planks. We developed 4 different types of basic module which could be arranged in numerous combinations variating from duos, trios or multiple module groups thus creating unique geometric landscapes. The manifestation of this wooden islands affects with sculptural and artistic value but with great usefull value as well. Simple assemblage on the site and the usage of all natural materials enables their installation even in the most sensitive natural environments.
Beside usage in the natural coastal ambiences, the modular system of wooden platforms are ideal to be used in touristical, sports and recreational spaces such as hotel resorts, camps, parcs etc.
