Urban Bee Hive Park + Honey Bar: A project by Claudia Zanfi/Atelier del Paesaggio

The first GREEN ISLAND/HONEY BAR of New York City, a mobile and versatile element, a reproducible and customizable project.

The first HONEY BAR in New York City makes its debut in Brooklyn, in the spaces of the Industry City. It is a mobile kiosk, offering tasting experiences from local producers, innovative ways to serve honey, and a type of architecture which draws on a repeatable and versatile module, designed to be installed in various environments or cities around the world.

A new concept of STREET HONEY BAR in which, from the tasting of different honeys to the most diverse gourmet couplings, nectar becomes a genuine lifestyle. Organized as part of the New York Design Week in Brooklyn, in the spaces of the Industry City – Wanted Design District, this brand of New York creativity has been invited by GREEN ISLAND to form part of an international network designed to rethink all that which concerns the world of beekeeping.

And indeed the age-old link between architecture and nature is what inspired us to come up with the first example in New York City of an ECO-DESIGN URBAN HIVE PARK: a project originating from an idea by Claudia Zanfi, art historian and botanist, in order to rethink the hive in a contemporary key, entrusting designers and artists from around the world with the task of applying creativity to an element of great importance in terms of environmental sustainability. The hive thus become an eco-design object, to be installed on rooftops or in private gardens, shaping the home of our sentinels of the environment like pieces of sculpture.
