ideas on Honeycomb

‘Filigree paper chair ‘ by Ryuji Nakamura.

This delicate, filigreed  creation is in fact a chair made entirely of paper  by Japanese architect Ryuji Nakamura.  Called Hechima 4, this seemingly fragile work -like an unravelling ball of string and not un reminiscent of a 3D  rendition of a paper doily- (the type that is used to line cake platters.)…is an extraordinary piece of design and  is in fact extremely sturdy and functions beautifully both as an ephemeral chair and work of art.
His previous collection featuring  the chair Nima, also explores the possible lateral uses of paper in the creation of design pieces which challenge our perceptions of the material in the creation of exquisitely delicate furniture pieces which seem to defy both the material and structure of their designs.

London based Unto This Last produces beautiful, organic in form and immaculately crafted wood furniture to order. The plywood comes from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified, responsibly managed forests in Latvia and Finland. Everything is cut by an automated machine at the back of the workshop and delivered in a weekly van around London using  no packaging to minimise environmental damage.
With brilliant Eco sensitive design  coupled with the ‘slow design’ and buy local philosophies seem to provide a ‘win’win’ option all round…..!’Eco Must haves in the making……

Two Anthropologie stores with ''honey   comb'' shape displays and themed shelves. Not Avoiding the idea that has been put on the blog I looked at ways we can incorporate the honey cone idea, I was inspired by this and decided to create storage, in the honeycomb style. 
 The window displays at Anthropologie are made from cardboard.  I thought, “Hey, we have copious amounts of cardboard and create are own pop up decoration like this.”
so far, so good.  I am using this as a guideline, even though it isn’t made from cardboard:

  1. I think that the honey cone shape is really good and it's different which is a really unique idea.
