Old School Electric Beehive Pendant Light

The Beehive Pendant Light by Old School Electric offers a striking yet gentle focal point, drawing inspiration from classic tiered glass forms of the early 20th century. Its opal glass shade delivers a warm, enveloping glow, giving rooms an understated elegance while adding sculptural interest overhead. Whether positioned above a dining table, illuminating a living space, or punctuating a hallway, the Beehive invites you to imagine a familiar silhouette reinterpreted with quiet refinement.

Designed in the UK by Mark Holloway, the Beehive features a beautifully layered profile measuring 25cm in height and 22cm in diameter. The opal glass shade diffuses light evenly, creating a soft, atmospheric quality ideally suited to relaxed environments. Thoughtfully proportioned, it performs as beautifully alone as it does in multiples, three hung over a kitchen island or dining setting, for instance, introduce rhythm and definition without overpowering the wider scheme.

Available in a curated palette of eight finishes; Antique Brass, Light Antique Brass, Dark Bronze, Satin Brass, Matt Black, Polished Brass, Polished Nickel and Polished Chrome, the Beehive can be specified to complement a range of interior moods. Each pendant is suspended from a 1m twisted fabric cable, paired with a matching ceiling rose for cohesive detailing.

Like the wider Old School Electric family, it takes a standard E27 bulb and is fully dimmable when combined with an appropriate lamp and dimmer. Its generous, layered silhouette sits comfortably within both traditional and modern environments. Place a single Beehive pendant above a reading corner or sofa to create a sense of calm, or cluster several at staggered heights in a stairwell for architectural drama.

Pair with complementary Old School Electric fittings to establish continuity throughout the home.
