Inspired by the structure of a beehive, the Iron Hive modular shelving system offers flexible and dynamic high-end solutions. It grows and transforms with the needs of its user. On its own, a module can be used as a side table or stool next to a sofa, armchair or bed. Like a metric system, these modules can be combined to form larger units, grow in length or height and thus become complex side boards, book shelvings, room dividers or product displays. From every angle, its shifted lines appear different: organic and structured, light and strong at the same time.

Behind Iron Hive is Davide Mezzasalma, born in Rome 1981. Since 2012 he lives as a freelance designer in Berlin. He studied transportation design in Coventry/UK and Turin, before working as a designer at Fiat and in yacht building. "The more I got involved with design, the more I was fascinated by the craft process," says Mezzasalma. "The manual approach took over the mechanical, the experimental over the proven". In this spirit, the step to the creative and technical mastermind who offers custom-made furniture and interior concepts from a single source, was consistent. The idea for Iron Hive arose when he was looking for an original solution for a room divider in a private apartment. "My inspiration are the repetitive geometric elements on which nature itself is built: from atoms, cells, crystals to the honeycombs of a beehive. Elements that can divide, split and grow and thus find new forms," explains the designer.
