Picked up this George Nelson for Nessen Lighting pendant Beehive lamp. This lamp was designed in 1969 and i'm told was only produced for three years.

Action Office!
With the winning combination of a birch top and a yellow cord management panel, I am very pleased with my new desk.

Update on the Nelson X-Leg table
This is the follow-up to another "last thing" post. In #14, I found this table, but only the legs were salvageable. I had a local shop (that, incidentally, does a lot of custom work for HM) laminate me a new top in walnut. Here's the finished table.

I don't know if I would qualify what you did as upcycling, Tom Ado, but
rather, a necessary repair with vintage lamps. Original wiring....is dangerous, as illustrated by what happened. Had the frying occurred at the ceiling connection, it could have easily been much worse...
You did a nice job, the lamp still looks great, and is now safe to use.

That looks very nice. Would be great to also see it in context with the egg chair sometime, if you plan to put them together in the living room.
