Prickly Pear

The 6mm Collection from ZeeKollection is built from one simple material: 6mm metal rod, bent and joined into open, faceted forms you can see straight through.

The Prickly Pear Cactus grows upward in rounded, faceted pads, each one stacked on the last and branching out to the sides. Every pad is a cage of short, angled rods that catches the light from all directions. Three green sprouts open at the tips, fresh growth reaching up from the top of the plant. The pads are finished in deep purple, and the pot and new shoots in bright leaf green. It’s a cactus that builds itself one piece at a time, and like the real thing it needs no water and no care, only a spot to stand.

A study in geometry, growth, and the steady strength of something that keeps building on what came before.
