Comb
A hexagonal shell built for stones that think they're flowers.
$34
Comb is a desk-scale planter wrapped in a hexagonal honeycomb shell — each cell faceted, the wall stepped in clean layer lines you can read with a fingertip. The cellular geometry stiffens a thin wall, so it stays light in the hand while the deep flat base keeps a top-heavy succulent from tipping. A recessed drainage hole and a press-fit hex saucer pull water clear of the roots, which is exactly what stone-dwelling plants want.
- Dimensions
- H 80mm × Ø 95mm (across flats). Recessed 8mm drainage hole; ships with a press-fit hexagonal drip saucer.
- Plant pairing
- Lithops and other living stones; equally at home with haworthia, tiny echeveria, or a single mesemb in fast-draining grit.
- Materials
- Matte PLA, Recycled PETG, Stone-Fill PLA
We started with the question of how little material could hold a handful of gritty soil and still feel solid. The honeycomb answered: borrowed from the most efficient wall in nature, it carries load in every direction and turns a flimsy print into a rigid little vault. Lithops live half-buried in cracked desert ground, so we gave them a vessel with the same logic — structure as ornament, nothing wasted.
