Herbst Produkt has designed a new product called HYVE: a polypropylene container that can be clipped to other HYVEs, creating a modular storage system. It’s available via Kickstarter.
I recently spent some time talking to Scot Herbst about HYVE and seeing the product first-hand. HYVE can be used to store a wide range of things: pens and pencils on the desktop, craft supplies in the classroom or playroom, flatware in the kitchen (for those without enough drawers), all sorts of things on a workbench, and much more. Because the HYVEs can be continually reconfigured, they might serve one use now, and another in later years. The HYVEs are about 3.5 inches tall, and a bit under 4 inches wide.
The concerns I had looking at the HYVEs online vanished when I saw them in person. I was afraid a HYVE might tip over easily, but it seems quite stable. The polypropylene means it’s easy to clean and hard to damage—important factors in anything that young children might use. The hexagon shape helps to make it strong. For most people, it will be pretty easy to clip the units together, and easy to take them apart. The clips seem very sturdy, too; they’re not something that’s going to break after a few uses.
