Ode Side Tables by Sizar Alexis, Set of 2

The hexagon has more to it than we think, and some of the aspects of this shape are still mysterious. The series is an ode to the aesthetics that I fell in love with a geometrical sculptural work of art and the interesting perfect form of the historical hexagon. It's fascinating how hexagons are part of our life but fail to realize this. It all comes down to the element that is present throughout our body, and that is carbon.
The use of the form dates back to ancient Mesopotamia ca. 690 BC in the form of hexagonal-shaped cuneiform of the Assyrian king Sennacherib ´s annals and is one of the first humans found to utilize hexagonal shapes.
The series comes in natural solid pine or burned pine that gives it its character and tactility in the visible wavy woodgrains.

Sizar Alexis is a Swedish-Iraqi designer that experiments with objects that display a sense of stillness and serenity with the strong character through geometrical shapes, this feeling is accomplished through the use of raw and inherent beauty of natural materials. Alongside his material-driven approach, Sizar brings personal and cultural narratives into his work. In combination with a deep interest in Brutalist esthetics and contextual inspiration from the rich cultural and architectural heritage of ancient Mesopotamia. He aims to explore his own identity and position within the Chaldean diaspora and in the design industry.
