NINEIDEA：仿生和设计本来就该是一对 —— 就像过去一百多年里我们见过的那些经典设计，从自然里找灵感的物件，总能在实用性和好看这两点上做得特别到位。既然这样，用蜜蜂做灵感设计一套电脑外设工业设计，说不定还能给高效工作添点新鲜意思呢？
设计师Alexandre Touguet之前的作品就凭专注的设计感圈过不少人，这次他的新作又让人挪不开眼：键盘的样子一瞧就像在野外撞见的蜂巢，六边形的按键像乐高积木似的严丝合缝，按下去的时候都觉得跟自然贴得很近；配套的鼠标带着蜜蜂元素，拿在手里特别搭。这种六边形的仿生设计太巧妙了，让人忍不住想：这么棒的外设，怎么以前没见过呢？
设计师做这套键盘鼠标的想法，其实藏着更深的心思。他一直惦记着全球蜜蜂数量因为人类活动变少的事儿 —— 要知道蜜蜂对整个生态平衡多重要啊。他想通过大家每天都用的东西，让更多人注意到这个问题。所以他才设计了这套像蜂巢的键盘鼠标，连颜色都特意选了贴近蜂蜜和蜜蜂的色调。现在人天天对着屏幕，用这种日常物件悄悄提醒大家关注蜜蜂保护，其实特别有意义。
键盘的按键布局直接照着蜂巢来做，用起来跟普通键盘完全不一样。那个蜂蜜色的空格键、回车和退格键，光看着就让人觉得舒服。再配上带橙色滚轮的鼠标 —— 那橙色看着就挪不开眼，这套东西要是真能上市，肯定很多人想买。设计师还想好了，这套外设主要做无线的，没电了也能插线用，方便又省心。

Honeycomb keyboard and mouse, industrial design for computer peripherals
NINEIDEA: Bionics and design are supposed to be a pair – just like those classic designs we have seen in the past 100 years, objects that seek inspiration from nature can always be particularly practical and beautiful. In that case, using bees as inspiration to design an industrial design for computer peripherals may add some fresh meaning to efficient work?
Designer Alexandre Touguet has already won over many people with his focused design sense in his previous works, but this time his new work is eye-catching: the keyboard looks like a beehive encountered in the wilderness, and the hexagonal keys are tightly sewn together like Lego bricks, making it feel very close to nature when pressed down; The matching mouse with bee elements is particularly suitable for holding in the hand. This hexagonal biomimetic design is so clever that people can’t help but wonder: why haven’t we seen such great peripherals before?
Designer Alexander said that the idea of making this keyboard and mouse set actually contains deeper thoughts. He has always been concerned about the decrease in global bee populations due to human activities – you know how important bees are to the overall ecological balance. He wants to draw more attention to this issue through the things everyone uses every day. That’s why he designed this honeycomb like keyboard and mouse, even choosing colors that are close to honey and bees. Nowadays, people face screens every day and use these everyday objects to quietly remind everyone to pay attention to bee protection, which is actually very meaningful.
The key layout of the keyboard follows the honeycomb pattern directly, which is completely different from a regular keyboard when used. The honey colored spacebar, enter key, and backspace key make people feel comfortable just by looking at them. Paired with a mouse with an orange scroll wheel – the orange one won’t be able to move your eyes. If this set really goes on sale, many people will definitely want to buy it. The designer has also decided that this set of peripherals is mainly designed for wireless use, and can be plugged in even when the battery runs out, which is convenient and worry free.
