HSW Formetra Tape Roll Holder

The Formetra design approach is my method for creating a consistent aesthetic and practical functionality within the broader Honeycomb Storage Wall system. The principles are as follows:

• Efficient space utilisation by designing with the grid in mind, allowing objects to be secured directly alongside or above and below one another.
• Ensuring robust products, which results in fewer breakages and, consequently, less waste.
• Creating flexibility through designs that can work together or serve a different purpose when rotated.
• Maintaining a consistent aesthetic across designs so that they feel like a cohesive family.
• Minimising print times and filament quantities by designing for printing without supports or unnecessary bulk.
• Testing and refining.

This tape roll adheres to those guidelines by being sturdy enough to hold two rolls of 75mm x 50mm duct tape or multiple smaller width tapes. It can also be flipped to store smaller rolls of plumber's tape or insulation tape, or act as an organiser for screwdrivers or similar.
