FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COMO, Italy, April 20, 2023 /DesignNewswire/ A' Design Award & Competition has confirmed the Silver A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category for Hexa Light by Sepehr Mehrdadfar, designed for Hamoun Design and Idea. The award was conferred within the 2022 - 2023 A' Design Award & Competition and was determined through blind peer review by an international grand jury panel of established academics, design professionals and press members, who evaluated anonymized entries against predetermined criteria.
What the Silver A' Design Award Means
The Silver A' Design Award celebrates top-tier designs that embody excellence and innovation. This award acknowledges creations that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional, reflecting the designer's deep understanding and skill. Silver A' Design Award recipients are recognized for their contribution to raising industry standards and advancing the practice of design. Their work often incorporates original innovations and elicits a strong emotional response, making a notable impact on the improvement of everyday life.
Regarding Hexa Light
The goal of Hexa design was to achieve a lamp that provides the lighting of the architectural space in two broad and localized modes, has the ability to expand in the space, and improves the quality of the space in terms of aesthetics. A Hexa is one-third of a full hexagon. This division increases the ability of Hexa in the variety of compositions and expansion. The form of the design follows a geometric pattern that is inspired by "Girih" and "miniature"; in traditional Iranian architectural decorations.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The goal of Hexa design was to achieve a lamp that provides the lighting of the architectural space in two broad and localized modes, has the ability to expand in the space and improves the quality of the space in terms of aesthetics. A Hexa is one third of a full hexagon. This division increases the ability of Hexa in the variety of composition and expansion.
- Inspiration
- The form of this design follows a geometric pattern that is inspired by "Girih" and "miniature" in traditional Iranian architectural decorations. Girih ( "knot", also written gereh) are decorative Islamic geometric patterns used in architecture and handicraft objects, consisting of angled lines that form an interlaced strapwork pattern.
- Research
- The goal of Hexa design was to achieve a lamp that provides the lighting of the architectural space in two broad and localized modes, has the ability to expand in the space and improves the quality of the space in terms of aesthetics. A hexa is one third of a full hexagon. This division increases the ability of hexa in the variety of composition and expansion. The form of this work follows a geometric pattern that is inspired by "knotting" and "miniature" in traditional Iranian architectural decorations.
- Challenge
- It was important to choose the appropriate geometric shape as the initial model. Odd polygons do not extend in a straight line, but even polygons do. In the end, a hexagon was chosen because it formed a more complex structure than a quadrilateral and simpler than a higher degree pair of polygons.
- Realization and Technology
- Each module is made of an extruded aluminum profile in a U shape, which is rolled at an angle of 120 degrees, and the LED is placed inside, and the opening of the U is closed with a Plexiglas sheet (as a diffuser). At specific points of each module, pieces of magnets are installed that enable connecting the modules to the fixture (an iron cube that houses the electric wires and is connected to the ceiling structure). After connecting, the electric wires enter each module from inside the fixture, and the electric current reaches the internal lamp. Hexa has the ability to be installed and connected in three modes: surface, built-in and hanging due to the main fixture.
- Operation and Interaction
- The coexistence of modules produces a light and geometric network that increases the charisma of the architectural space. This light grid maintains its character independent of the space while providing ambient lighting and creates a decorative effect for the interior designer. The hexagonal pattern and the geometric expansion system of this scheme provide the designer with the possibility of controlling the direction of expansion and the density of the composition.
- Project Duration and Location
- This project designed in 2022 in Tehran, Iran.
- Specifications
- Length of each module: 770 mm height of profile: 40 mm width of profile: 20 mm
