Hex is particularly suitable for smaller entrances and the vision for the mat is about thinking of smart solutions for small rooms and choosing quality over quantity.
My husband and I recently changed residences from a house with a large garden to an apartment with only a terrace. The transition is substantial and with less space, there has certainly been a lot of change. It is therefore convenient that we launch the Hex collection this fall considering my new, compact living situation. I love how Lars Tornøe combines the dominant expression in a hexagon’s 6-sided shape with the soft expression of the circle and cannot wait to place it outside my new front door entrance.

Hex
Design by Lars Tornøe
Hex hints at a larger pattern structured by the hexagon and circle – two shapes strongly connected with the geometry. This combination of repetition and order brings calming expression, evoking associations with architecture and inspiration from industrial environments.
The collection is thoughtfully designed to fit the esthetic and functional needs of small entranceways. The raised surfaces act as an effective dirt and dust catcher, making a small yet effective mat. Lightweight and easy to handle, the collection includes two rectangular sizes and two colorways - Desert and Soil
