eggcrate

Bumpy foam pattern

An eggcrate is a container with a grid of dividers that keep eggs separated and protected.

The structure extends to anything with a similar honeycomb pattern: eggcrate foam has a bumpy surface used for soundproofing or mattress toppers, and eggcrate louvers are grids that diffuse fluorescent lighting.
