About Hexa Plus Bålsted

Hexa Plus er et bålsted designet til haver og udendørsarealer. Den sekskantede form passer til en gruppe på seks til ti personer samlet omkring et bål. Designet kombinerer en bålskål med en kogeplade og en grill, der kan indstilles i to højder. Kogepladen er lavet af 10 mm stålplade for jævn opvarmning og god termisk inerti. En holder bærer en kedel over bålet, og et udskåret logo på siden af tanken tilfører luft til forbrændingen. Justerbare fødder holder produktet stabilt og i vater. Kroppen er fremstillet af laserskåret metalplade, der er bøjet, svejset og belagt med elektrostatisk maling.

Design Challenge
The most difficult part was to be able to homogenize all the functions that the Hexa + firepit currently has and to identify the best option, considering functional and aesthetic features and cost optimization.

The vision was to create a multifunctional and practical product. The material from which the product is used restores the resistance of the product over time, the maintenance or rehabilitation of the product being easy, during use. Another advantage is that it is a perfect material for cooking, evenly heating the surface of the grill, hob, etc.
The tub, which is used for campfires or as a heater on cold days or evenings, is a solution to protect green spaces.
Inspiration
The concept of this product was inspired by modern design stealth trends, having as main feature the pronounced edges, which gives the product strength, power and masculinity.
The hexagonal shape was chosen as the optimal surface for a number between 6-10 people who can enjoy socializing around a fire or for the outdoor cooking experience, by the side of multifunctional product.
The design of the grill lid is inspired by the shape of a diamond.
Project Duration
This project started in November 2019 and the final version of this product was launched in the summer of 2020. The design of this product is 100% Romanian and its production was carried out in Cluj County, Romania.
