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

Globe pendant lights can be done so many ways – in so many shapes, sizes, finishes. Whether arranged together or as a single light, a globe pendant light always seems to look good.

Today we’ve got two different kinds of globes going on. The first is a giant globe that looks to be made out of paper – like a paper lantern. It is hung over a quaint seating area with an intricate ceiling medallion. The second set of globes takes place over a modern dining set, where the globes are made of a smoky amber glass and arranged in a cluster of escalating height.

Both are two totally different looks using one simple element – a globe pendant. Personally, I’m really loving the giant globe  - it’s just fun and different.

If you absolutely had to choose between these two looks – which would you rather?
