Panelite
The real deal. A swarm of bees was living in our CEO ’s compost for a few days and when they moved on they left behind this little piece of perfectly engineered honeycomb. It has all the extraordinary qualities that we humans imitate when we make our honeycomb panels. It’s lightweight, extremely strong, translucent. The cells are even more perfect and regular than aluminum hexagonal honeycomb. We would have to 3-d print it to achieve this level of perfection. Nature is humbling and beautiful.

This 2009 project is just as relevant today in its focus on issues of tolerance, rights and diversity.
Designed by Yazdani Studio of Cannon Design the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles included a children's multipurpose area with a series of large, backlight, pivoting media walls. The super-graphic wall highlights portraits of pioneers of tolerance, diversity and human rights issues. On the reverse side, quotes from other leaders of these issues are displayed. The pivoting walls allow for a variety of configurations to support the varying size of groups touring the Museum.
The unique structural properties of Panelite’s translucent honeycomb panels enabled the pivoting walls to be very lightweight and movable, to be fully backlit with a minimal amount of visible framing, and elegantly detailed with pre-fabricated mitered corners.
