A331 Beehive Pendant Lamp dark blue - brass, Limited Edition

A331 Beehive Pendant Lamp dark blue - brass

This lamp is a special limited edition of one of Alvar Aalto’s most iconic designs. Originally created in 1953 for the University of Jyväskylä in Finland, this design classic combines a sculptural form with a warm, atmospheric diffusion of light.

Inspired by the structure of a beehive, the lamp’s distinctive shape consists of an elegant aluminum shade featuring horizontal rings made of brass-colored steel. These rings create a subtle interplay of light and shadow, casting a pleasant, diffuse glow throughout the room.

For this special edition, the lamp is finished in a deep, dark blue lacquer, complemented by warm, brass-colored details. The contrast between the dark blue and the brass gives the original design a sophisticated, contemporary look, while preserving its timeless character.

The A331 Beehive looks stunning above a dining table, in a living room, or as atmospheric lighting in a bedroom—a remarkable lighting piece that brings together Finnish design history, functionality, and aesthetics.

A Design Icon by Alvar Aalto

The A331 Beehive was designed in 1953 by the Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto. Its recognizable, rounded silhouette and horizontal, brass-colored rings make it one of his most characteristic lighting designs.

The combination of direct and diffuse light creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, making the Beehive not just a functional pendant lamp, but a sculptural element within any interior. Dark Blue / Brass – an exclusive edition

This limited edition stands out due to its unique combination of dark blue lacquered aluminium and brass-coloured steel rings.

The deep blue hue accentuates the gentle curves of the lampshade, while the warm brass details lend the design an elegant appearance.
