Beehive Pendant LightThe A331, nicknamed Beehive, is one of Alvar Aaltos most popular lighting designs. Suitable for homes and public spaces alike, Beehive creates a warm, diffuse light when switched on, a result of the ingenious design that features several rows of perforated steel rings. True to its nickname, Beehive retains its distinctive sculptural presence even when unlit and was originally designed for Finlands University of Jyvskyl in 1953.
