Hex Shelf by HouMinn Practice is the latest addition to Hometta's line of home accessory designs, Hometta, Etc.
Hex Shelf, made from a 4x4 sheet of ¾” birch plywood, is a simple project that explores the idea of ornament performing multiple roles in the conception and assembly of a project.
Etc. designs range from do-it-yourself projects to those which can be easily fabricated by a local shop or single trade. Hometta, Etc. draws from the studios' diverse design backgrounds to bring members quality design on a somewhat smaller scale. Also check out Holey Cabinet! from Interloop—Architecture, V-port from Brett Zamore Design, and 3x3 Storage by Collaborative Designworks.
