Visual Inspiration

Starting inspiration began by looking around the area the product was being made for, the garden. The Bee Hive interested me as it is attractive, space saving and functional.

Concept Model

Jelutong basic concept to quickly produce the style and shape to further inspire the development.

Once made and developed a clean 1:5 scale model to represent my idea. Using a Circle variant honeycomb. Three legged table for stability on a likely uneven ground.

Concept Model
