HiveMind Pendant
Originally created as a one off piece, the team designed a fixture that could symbolize and inspire collaboration at the center of their environment. The fixture needed to be large enough to hold the space, but not ostentatious, while bringing a sense timeless as it hung above the large white Eero Saarinen Tulip Table which the team collaborates around.
The HiveMind Pendant consists of two primary elements. The first is an exposed bulb which represents the placement of an idea at the center of the fixture, while the second element is a hive shaped glass lantern representing the collaboration and hard work of the collective. With these two components together the fixture creates a powerful symbol inspiring the collective ideas of the team through collaboration rather than the single idea of an individual. All of us together are smarter than any one of us.
“The HiveMind Pendant is an illuminating fixture that embodies the bright spark of ideas and hard work of the collective.”
Founder & Designer Kyle MertensMeyer
August Green has begun manufacturing the HiveMind Pendant commercially and expanding on a larger collection due to increasing requests from clients who wish to use the fixture in their own projects.
The HiveMind Pendant is a sizable fixture with dimensions of Ø14.5” x 19.6” for the glass hive itself. The drop length of the fixture from ceiling to top of the glass hive is 72" and is field adjustable or can be ordered with bespoke sizing. Hanging options include steel cable with or a single fixed rod. The fixture is being produced in Brushed Brass and Stainless Steel, with additional bespoke options available. The design team hopes the HiveMind Pendant will inspire design and collaboration worldwide.
50% of proceeds from sales of the HiveMind Pendant will be donated to the Green Missions Foundation.
