With the bee population dwindling around the globe, Auckland, New Zealand native Rowan Dunford , developed a product to bring beekeeping to urban environments. With bees being critical to the world’s food supply, creating products like the Urban Beehive could help stabilize the problem by easing the beekeeping process. Dunford wanted to eliminate any fears that might come with starting your own hive, like cost and complexity. Perfect for the beginner, the modern hive is simple and designed for flat-pack shipping and assembly

Paddle is a collection of adjustable LED task lights designed by Benjamin Hubert for Italian lighting manufacturer Fabbian launching in Euroluce during Salone next month. Paddle was inspired by the 360 degree movement of a canoe blade through water, therefore the lamp has a multitude of functional uses. To allow for maximum usability in a variety of working environments. The high brightness LED light source and capacitive touch control is contrasted with a tactile range of material to soften the technology and create a more human range of products
