Common Questions
What are honeycomb shelves?
Honeycomb shelves are modular hexagonal shelving units that interlock to form a bookcase, room divider, or display wall. Bill Curry designed the original in 1970; Heller now molds each cell from 100% recycled, regenerative plastic with tempered-glass shelves inside.
Can honeycomb shelves be used outdoors?
Yes. Heller's Honeycomb is molded from weather-resistant recycled polypropylene rated for indoor and outdoor use, so it works as easily on a covered patio as it does in a living room or entryway.
How much weight can each Honeycomb shelf hold?
Each tempered-glass shelf holds up to 23 lbs, and each hexagonal cell supports up to 12 lbs — enough for books, planters, or display objects across a multi-cell configuration.
