Hextended

Hextended takes its reference from mid century stairwells, particularly the metal balustrades that often ran alongside them. These everyday architectural details had a clarity that came from remarkably simple geometry.

There was rarely much decoration involved. A few repeated metal sections could create a strong identity through proportion alone. Even quite ordinary buildings often contained beautifully resolved details because somebody had thought carefully about how those lines connected.

That economy of form became the starting point for Hextended. The elongated hexagon has some of the same character as those metal frameworks, where familiar geometry stretches to suit its purpose.

I have always liked these overlooked parts of mid century architecture. Staircases, screens, railings and balustrades often contain some of the best pattern in a building. They were functional elements, yet designers clearly understood their decorative potential.

Hextended carries some of that thinking into porcelain. The reference remains deliberately simple: geometry does not need much embellishment when proportion is doing the work.
