Thanks to Napoleon, bee’s are very celebrated in the world of Interior Design. It is the architectural element of the honeycomb that has enticed designers and architects alike in design, pattern & structures. The geometric shape is loved by designers as a memorable pattern for use in textiles, accessories, lamps and furniture. Whether modern or traditional, I will let you decide. The honeycomb motif is a classic.

David Hicks & Mark Hampton championed the honeycomb pattern in the 1960’s. See the fabric application below:

A more subtle interpretation is found on this shiny white vase available from West Elm. This goes with everything.

Even fabric trims display the honeycomb motif as seen in this trim by Kelly Wearstler for Lee Jofa

A simple statement is made with these graduated units in honeycomb shapes. In sets of three, you can hang or stack in multiple configurations.
