"HXL is a assembly system developed by Super.Natures, the exploratory design division of Integrated Field Co., Ltd. Originally conceived as a sculptural installation for Bangkok Design Week 2025, the project investigates how modular, tool-less structures can transition between artistic, architectural, and domestic applications. Composed of three interlocking components, H, X, and L, named for their alphabetic profiles, the system functions as a spatial language scaled to the human body."
"Fabricated from CNC-cut composite sheets and pine wood studs, HXL applies principles of precision and simplicity. The structure relies on friction-fit connections rather than mechanical fasteners, allowing assembly without tools. Each alphabetic form contributes both structural and visual identity, combining compression, tension, and openness within a single family of parts. The modular elements can be assembled and disassembled repeatedly, enabling continual experimentation with form and scale. The process encourages participatory construction, where builders engage directly with the system through intuitive handling and spatial improvisation."
HXL is an assembly system developed by Super.Natures within Integrated Field Co., Ltd. Originally conceived as a sculptural installation for Bangkok Design Week 2025, HXL uses three interlocking H, X, and L components scaled to the human body. The modules reconfigure into furniture, partitions, signage, and integrated home systems, illustrating adaptive reuse. Fabrication uses CNC-cut composite sheets and pine studs with friction-fit connections for tool-less assembly. Repeated assembly and disassembly enable experimentation with form and scale and encourage participatory, manual construction alongside digital fabrication. HXL functions as a framework for responsive, evolving design rather than fixed solutions.
