Let’s Rethink The Battery

5:59 pm in Design by Radhika-Seth

When you are changing batteries in your remote control, one of the primary concerns is to make sure that they don’t roll off the table and fall down. This may sound like a comic situation right now, however it happens to almost every one of us. So is coming up with a hexagonal shape the answer; is Hive the answer to this problem? According to the designers, Hive’s unique shape make them roll-safe and save a lot on packaging and shelf space. I believe there is a reason why those AA’s are round, if there were merit to the hexagon, Duracell and the likes would have picked up on it. What do you think?

Hive Bookcase Will Awake Your Reading Passion

Bookcases shouldn't just be efficient storage solutions for your favorite books, especially with all the smart designs available out there. Such is the case with the Hive, a great bookcase ready to shelter most of your books. The Hive Bookcase is "inspired by both the natural shelter build by bees and traditional forms of Arab Andalusian architecture" and it will certainly awake your reading passion. The Hive is not only a great piece of furniture but also a great separator between two different areas of a studio as its shelves are accessible from both sides. Each storage unit has a hexagonal shape and will definitely let you store other items besides books, although such a creation should be a book-only piece of furniture. Via Darenart
