Think mixed-use, and it's usually architecture that comes to mind. But think again with Molo Design's Softblock modules. Actually more strip than block, they're designed to offer interior spaces multiple functions and configurations, thanks to a honeycomb structure that expands and contracts to form sculptural walls and seating. The modules come in unbleached kraft paper made with 50 percent recycled fiber as well as in translucent white or opaque black polyethylene. Available sizes are 1, 2, and 3 feet high by 12 or 18 feet long. 604-696-2501; molodesign.com. circle 407
