Ideation
This design was entered into Fab's competition/exhibition for NYCxDesign 2014, "First Things First." It challenged designers to design the first thing they would put in a new home. This key holder was designed because a set of keys is often the first thing that makes a new place yours, so it is only fitting to give those keys a home as well. With friend and fellow designer, Luz Cabrera, the key holder is a play on the phrase, "Honey, I'm home!”.

Prototype
The final design is an abstraction of the honeycomb in a hive as the wall piece and bees as the key chains to attach to your keys, returning to the key holder every day just as bees return to their hive. The prototype was created from layers of laser cut acrylic which were glued and sanded smooth before being painted with a metallic finish.

Each set is intended to come with four key chains, each a different color to distinguish keys of different household members. The key chains could be available in a wider variety of colors to be sold separately for households that may need more. Our design was accepted to be exhibited during NYCxDesign 2014.
