The Hex shelter is a cocoon floating among the trees, that allow passersby a break a their walk. The six sides, openings and the center oculus allowing the structure to be elegant, to open on different views and illuminated the inside.
Similar to a flower, one side opens up, allowing you to enter. A second side is transparent and releases a stunning view on the lake. Finally, the small window, unfolds on the surrounding tree tops and allows more light to come into the design. Inside the structure, one can find 3 foldable backrests, usable when needed. On rainy days, the user can close the structure fully and enjoy the waterproof shelter.
Designed to be user friendly, Hex offers on the inside some smart solutions to hang jackets, open and close the openings and many more for you to discover.

Enjoy!
