Product Story
Designed by George Nelson in 1947, the Nelson Bubble Pendant Lamp series comprises a range of pendant lighting solutions with varying spherical silhouettes. Inspired by a set of silk-covered Swedish hanging lamps, the lamps’ organic shapes appear to delicately float overhead, offering a soft and atmospheric light. All Bubble models are produced in the same American factory that originally developed them in the 1950s. Each model has a steel-wire skeleton on the interior, which is spray coated with the translucent plastic polymer Nelson first encountered in that 1947 photograph of U.S. military ships, resulting in a lamp, that is both opaque and transparent as it glows.
