So I've already talked about my
circle thing, but now I'm noticing a new shape popping up everywhere- the hexagon- especially for the wall- Target offered a 3 set of nesting tables/wall hexagons in their current Bronze Age collection, as well as
West Elm's version.
Walter wall applications has this "hex" style, which are paintable and conveniently backed with 3M adhesive.
Plushpod offers these "hive" wall shelves, which are made by
Boom design-
Boom design also makes these neat
Twist cubes and
"hive" cubes, for stackable storage.
Bees use the hexagon as their shape of choice for their honeycombs, so I guess it's only natural that designers be inspired by it as well. I think it's refreshing to see it getting all this buzz (sorry, bad pun.) Are any of you noticing hexagons too? Or is there another shape that's craving for attention?

Hi! Love your site!
On the hexagon note, I thought you might like to see a hexagon tower I built for a June 2006 exhibition called "Rapunzel Revisited" at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. I sat on top performing in a jellyfish costume made of silk, jewels, and fiberoptic lights.
Now that the show's over, the tower serves a new purpose: I broke it down into four pieces, the grade A ash wood and pipe tower converted into some pretty cool hexagonal tables, each about 4 foot diameter and 28" in height! I'd send a jpeg but I've never responded to a blog before so not sure how to do so...
All the best,
d.
