The Beehive lamp is part of Lucia DeRespinis’s 1960 Leisure (Indoor-Outdoor) lighting series, created while she was a designer at George Nelson & Associates. Coated in white enamel, the metal pyramid hood with hexagonal base forms a distinct honeycomb shape, while acrylic cylinders further emphasize the beehive motif.
