A331 “Beehive” Pendant Lamp by Artek

The A331, nicknamed “Beehive,” is one of Alvar Aalto’s 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.
“Beehive” was originally designed for Finland’s University of Jyväskylä in 1953.
