Mother Nature never loses her ability to inspire, be it the poet, the artist, the photographer, the designer…her wonders never cease.. So this next entry, certain to create buzz, comes with a double whammy: inspiring and useful.

This shelving system is quite literally based on the honeycomb as a design element. By Clive Wilkenson and introduced at the Milan Furniture Fair ‘07, you can find out more at their website, Quinzeandmilan.tv.

Here’s their description of the design:

“Honeycombs, one of the oldest architectural concepts known, inspired this design of a flexible shelving system. The individual units are made from rotation-molded thin walled polyethylene resulting in an exceptional transparency and rigidity. A straightforward riveting system allows for an efficient and reversible installation with unlimited and flexible compositions.
HONEYCOMB, which was developed together with Intelligent Design, ensures an enhanced structural capacity that allows stacking up to 7 meters in two directions and even allow the removal of units within a built wall to create ‘windows’. So keep your things in place, your peeping neighbors out or your friends in and make your own humming environment… Available in orange (honey), green (mint), red (cherry), light grey, white and black - or email us for custom colour requests.”
