Hex Grate
A six-fold lattice of pierced grilles — the dense geometric weave that runs through Islamic latticework and Japanese kumiko.
A six-fold grille — interlocking openings arranged around a central hexagonal point, repeated until the field reads as a continuous lattice. The drawing belongs to a long lineage of pierced screens, from the carved jali windows of Mughal India to the wooden kumiko panels of Japan.
The same logic runs through all of them: a small repeating figure becomes a continuous surface that diffuses light without ever blocking it completely. The geometry does the work.
At architectural scale the grille panels a wall. At jewelry scale a single hexagonal repeat becomes a pendant — the lattice compressed to the size of the hand.
The same patience that fills a pendant fills a panel.
