Hive - modular hexagonal seating and planting system
Everything in Hive starts with one hexagonal form that splits into halves, inverts, and combines with others to produce clusters, rows, and organic shapes. Add timber tops for seating and use open and tall for planting. The two share the same system language, so the seat and planter are consistent in every configuration.
A hexagonal module. Split it, flip it, and stack it alongside others. Leave it open, add depth, and it becomes a planter. The same geometry produces every combination you can conceive of.
Hive is a modular system where seating and planting share the same form. Modules at three heights create volume and variety, with low timber surfaces for sitting, and taller open forms for grasses, shrubs, and wildflowers. Shape the layout around your site, and reshape it whenever you need to.
Choose from seven preset layouts or create yours from scratch on our configurator.
