Hexa Plus, a firepit that doubles as an outdoor cooking station, is a testament to the power of innovative design. Its hexagonal shape, inspired by modern stealth trends, provides an optimal surface for 6-10 people to gather around. The grill lid, inspired by the shape of a diamond, adds a touch of elegance to this robust design. The pronounced edges give the product a sense of strength, power, and masculinity, making it a striking addition to any outdoor space.
What sets Hexa Plus apart from other outdoor products is its multifunctionality and innovative features. It includes an adjustable grill on two heights, boiler support, a 10mm thick hob for good thermal inertia, and adjustable feet for stability. The logo cut laterally on the tank serves as an air supply for combustion. These unique properties make Hexa Plus a versatile product that can be used in any season, taking the outdoor cooking and socializing experience to another level.
The design realization of Hexa Plus involves laser cutting of sheet metal, bending, and welding. This manufacturing process ensures high resistance over time, making Hexa Plus a durable and reliable product. The grill, grill holder, tub, and legs are made of 3mm sheet metal and steel, while the grill pan is made of 10mm steel sheet. These materials are perfect for cooking, as they evenly heat the surface of the grill and hob.
Hexa Plus is not just a product, but a solution to protect green spaces. The tub, which is used for campfires or as a heater on cold days or evenings, is designed to prevent damage to the surrounding environment. This commitment to sustainability is a testament to the designers' vision of creating a multifunctional and practical product that respects nature.
The design of Hexa Plus was a challenging process that involved homogenizing all its functions and identifying the best option considering functional and aesthetic features and cost optimization. Despite these challenges, the final product is a testament to the designers' creativity and technical expertise. Hexa Plus started as a project in November 2019 and was launched in the summer of 2020. It is a 100% Romanian design, produced in Cluj County, Romania.
Hexa Plus has been recognized for its outstanding design and innovation, winning the Silver A' Garden and Outdoor Furniture Design Award in 2021. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that showcase a remarkable level of excellence and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder. Hexa Plus certainly fits this description, revolutionizing the outdoor cooking and socializing experience with its innovative design.
