Humans are a messy species, especially when compared to the hyper-efficient and stylish honeybee. It’s a biological deficiency that allows a business like the Container Store to sell $750 million dollars worth of organizational systems every year. Inspired by our human failings, the elegant structure of honeycombs, and the multi-billion dollar market for organization systems, designer Scot Herbst has developed a suite of storage products that will make our homes feel more like hives.
Hyve is a system of hexagonal plastic bins. Each features a clip that allows it to connect to a mate, or one of 80 accessories Herbst has planned, and grow organically into a system designed for a specific space. Magnetic hangers and wooden bars allow Hyve cells to hang on refrigerators and white boards, and durable construction allows the cells to be used in more industrial settings. “The interlocking hexagonal geometry is 100 percent mother nature’s design,” says Herbst. “We’re paying tribute to honey bees for their inspiration and organized energy.”
Herbst has designed storage solutions for clients like Home Depot and Crate & Barrel in the past, but decided to bring this product to market under his own brand. “Often times we have the luxury of designing cool things and handing them off for our clients and partners to struggle through manufacturing and delivering to market,” says Herbst. “When we develop and sell our own products it really forces us to make the right decisions from start to finish.”
This learning has led to some tangible improvements. Nesting cells make for more compact and affordable shipping. Instead of fancy designer packaging, Herbst opted for a low-key, monochrome, and environmentally friendly paperboard ribbon.
