Saucer Bubble Pendant, 1952
Nelson Saucer 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 Saucer pendant 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 Bubble pendant forms part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Available in four sizes.
Bulb (not included): 60W/120V bulb (small), 150W/120V bulb (other sizes).
The Bubble Pendant collection comprises a series of organic shapes and sizes. See 'More products in this range' below.
