Modern lifestyles force many parents to spend considerable time away from one another, and their babies. In some cases, parents are separated by hundreds or thousands of miles due to their careers and other factors. This can place a strain on their relationship as husband and wife, and throw their roles as caregivers into disarray. The Honeycomb is a suite of devices that enable physically separated spouses to connect with one another by providing sensory experiences of archetypal parenting activities from various stages of babyhood.

Background
While developing The Honeycomb, I was inspired by the following projects:

"Wayward Soles" (Daniel Soltis, ITP, 2006)

"There Chair" (Kacie Kinzer, ITP, 2008)

"Design Noir" (Dunne & Raby, Royal College of Art, 2001)

"Accessories for Lonely Men" (Noam Toram, 2001)
