Ball Bubble pendant, 1952
Nelson Ball Bubble Pendant by George Nelson for Herman Miller, distributed by Hay.
The iconic mid-century Bubble light was designed by George Nelson in 1947 and 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.
Recommended light source (not included): Small, LED E27 (A15) 5-8W, 500-800lm, 2700-3000K. Medium, LED E27(A19) 10-13W, 1000-1500lm,2700K. Large, LED E27 (A19) 10-13W, 1000-1500lm, 2700K.
