Nelson Ball Bubble Pendant

Nelson Ball Bubble Pendant by George Nelson for HAY.

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.

Manufactured by Herman Miller and distributed in the UK by HAY.
