Gary Moore’s Modern Wooden Hives

Bookhive
How best to artfully display your favorite books, ephemera, and all the amazing works of craft you picked up at a recent ACC show? Twin Cities furniture designer Gary Moore offers a simple-yet-beautiful solution in the Bookhive, a harmonious, symmetrical storage system with tons of modern appeal. Its purpose is to showcase objects and books, but the Bookhive, empty or not, is visually arresting on its own—on a recent visit to Forage Modern Workshop in Minneapolis, where excellent design is in abundance, I couldn’t take my eyes off of the Bookhive. And Moore has extended the hive concept to include practical single-cell side tables and small, elongated tabletop clusters for wine bottles (Winehives!).
I’m mildly obsessed with Moore’s hives, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that he designs furniture in plenty of other shapes, too—and, like his hive constructions, his other pieces feature sleek, modern design with clean lines and high-functioning details.
Can’t get enough craft? Neither can we. Heck Yes Craft is a series of visual blog posts with a simple mission: to show off amazing work. Come back on Fridays for more.
