Whether you are looking for a new storage unit or would like to have sculptural design in your house, consider the Hexy Wall. It's an adaptable structure that carries with it a certain timelessness and beauty that many other practical storage units don't have.
The Hexy Wall is the creation of Mika Gilmore, a graduate of the Boston Architectural College, and although the hexagonal storage unit has been done before throughout the years, Gilmore has designed the Hexy Wall like no other hexagonal wall before it.
The Hexy Wall is sold in clusters. There are three hexagons per cluster and each cluster can stack onto the other. These clusters can stack onto one another in many different ways, allowing the owner to choose how they want to shape their Hexy Wall at any time. Gilmore's design captures the essence of sustainable and modern design: the ability for the design itself to adapt with time.
There are different depths available with the Hexy Wall. This feature can give an added depth to the unit as the whole. For extra stability, the clusters attach with the strong force of super magnets.
As an extended option, the Hexy Wall can be made available with hexagonal drawers, which utilize the entire space within each hexagon.
Lastly, the Hexy Wall can be made in a variety of colors and with different types of wood.
Price per cluster: $175-$300. The Hexy Wall is currently available at Room 68.

These are neat... BUT...
Is there any way to view the website without subscribing to the mailing list? I refuse to enter my email just to VIEW a website.
But the problem is that the unit's not practical. You can see in the photos that books can't be stored upright easily. Maybe, this would okay as a room divider, but it's not useful as a bookcase.
Ivlichelle, Room 68 is a new design store in Boston and should have their full website up within the next few weeks. No email will be required to visit the site. Right now the site is simply a static page with basic info.
Palmetto, I agree regarding the use of the Hexy Wall as a bookshelf. But with the drawers, and even without, this piece is very practical. Come check it out if you're in the area.
It would be good for fabric storage.
These are fantastic! I've been looking for something sculptural and easy to install. And functional...I NEED these. I can see pinning up photos, cards, or using it to store/sort mail, or maybe just temporarily hold those dvds I've been meaning to return.
These are awesome...I love how you can restack and reconfigure them anyway you need them. I think what I also like about them is that it is both storage and display. I really like how the books don't stand up straight, all the angles of the books really adds to the overall aesthetic. Hope to see more of her work in the future!
these are the best things i have ever seen for incredible, structural storage. They can be moved around and re-configured so easily, unlike any traditional book shelf or box-shaped storage piece. Excellent design Mika
I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'd use these for. Not books, obviously, or anything rectangular. Not good for stacking dishes on, either.
They're cool looking, but I can't think of a practical use for them. (The only thing I can come up with is a sock drawer. And no one needs that many sock drawers).
Perhaps I'm missing an obvious answer -- those of you who think they look useful, what would you use them for?
I designed the Hexy Wall to be a versatile storage wall for any space. It differs from traditional book shelf storage intentionally. I have used my Hexy Wall for a variety of storage purposes. As an artist / designer it stores rolled drawings, trace paper, markers, and design books perfectly to my liking. They store books just fine, only differently than we are used to. It is also great for magazines, nick-nacks, cook books, fabric, jars filled with buttons or other random items, stationary, pads of paper, etc.... it really is up to the user, but is completely functional in a variety of different ways, and in a variety of different configurations. If you wish to see pictures of the Hexy Wall in an apartment environment at maximum usage let me know and I will be happy to email them to you!
