Without question, the George Nelson Bubble Lamps are the tried-and-true standard of a mid-century classic.
Architect George Nelson, who was Herman Miller’s design director from 1945 to 1972, described his creative abilities as a series of "zaps" – flashes of inspiration and clarity that he turned into innovative design ideas.
George Nelson designed the first bubble lamps in 1947. He was outfitting his office and he recalled seeing a photo in the paper of Liberty ships being mothballed "by having the decks covered with netting and then being sprayed with a self-webbing plastic," said Nelson. "And then, Whammo!" Inspiration struck, and by the next night, Nelson had designed his first Bubble Lamp, using a spray coating of translucent plastic polymer over a skeleton of steel wire.
The Nelson Saucer Bubble Lamp is available in small, medium, large and extra large (huge!). Several of the pendant lights are also available in a Criss Cross design.
George Nelson found that "When you put a light in it, it glowed."
Choose a combination of three Bubble Lamps to create your own chandelier. Great in stairwells and larger spaces.
Modernica Bubble Lamps are available as pendant lighting, floor lamps, table lamps and wall scones. A wide range of shapes and sizes are now available.
The Bubble Lamps for desk or table use are available in three different shapes and either a steel or walnut base.
Built to last a lifetime, the George Nelson Bubble Floor Lamps are solidly constructed of brushed, nickel-plated steel. You can opt for a walnut cover that conceals a 6.5 pound steel base for stability. They come with a 9-foot cord, and an easy-to-use on/off floor switch.
The Nelson Bubble Lamp Wall Sconces are handsomely constructed with a 2-inch thick solid walnut wall-mount and a brushed-nickel steel arm that extends out approximately 14-inches. The arm has a swivel hinge and an adjustable 12-foot plug-in cord with a counterweight, that allows for height adjustments. This clever design allows one to adjust the sconce from left-to-right, and up-and-down, without having to change its position on the wall. It is available in four shapes including the Pear, the Ball, the Cigar and the Saucer.
With their simple sculptural shapes Nelson’s unique designs and ingenious use of materials are proven to eliminate glare and provide an abundant, yet diffused light.
The George Nelson Bubble Lamp transcends both time and trends, maintaining a classic and "must have" light in pendant, floor, wall and table top categories - earning it a position in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
