Nelson Angled Sphere Bubble Pendant by for .
The iconic mid-century Bubble Light was designed by George Nelson in 1947 and was first put into production in 1952. The fully rounded sphere delicately floats overhead, providing a soft, diffused light.
Inspired by a set of silk-covered Swedish pendant lamps that he felt were too expensive, Nelson created his own modest orb lighting series. Rather than silk, he used a self-webbing plastic developed by the military to form the translucent shell over a lightweight, rounded-steel frame.
The renowned pendant forms part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Available in three sizes.
The Bubble Pendant collection comprises a series of organic shapes and sizes. See 'More products in this range' below.
