Entry Description

Hive is a decorative accent lamp that combines cutting-edge technology with sustainable materials. Using brass elements and advanced surface modeling techniques to achieve ripped textures, Hive achieves a simplistic yet elegant design. Its shade is made from a recycled bio-plastic derived from renewable resources like corn and sugarcane, providing both environmental benefits and a soft, diffused light. The design balances innovation, sustainability, and craftsmanship in a timeless form.

Sustainability Approach

Hive is designed with sustainability at its core, using no adhesives to connect its unfinished brass and recycled PLA bioplastic components. Both materials are 100% recyclable and can be reused endlessly, ensuring a closed-loop life cycle and minimizing environmental impact.
