Dovetail Cells

Build a wall gallery of interlocking niches

Shallow wall niches that lock together with dovetails. Each cell has two tabs and two sockets, so cells slide into each other from the front and grow into any shape of gallery for tiny treasures, air plants or figures; each hangs on its own keyhole and the joints keep the grid aligned.
