BELL BELL BUBBLE PENDANT XL - REF 936374 - 106.5 x 73.5 cm - 41.93′′ x 28.94′′ (Ø x Height) -- GEORGE NELSON BUBBLE LAMP,...
GEORGE NELSON BUBBLE LAMP, a fabulous reissued collection :
Designed by pioneering American designer George Nelson in 1947, and first produced in 1952, the Bubble lamp signaled a revolution in the Modernist lighting industry.
Available in an assortment of organic sizes and shapes, these elegant orbs were inspired by a set of silk-covered Swedish pendant lamps Nelson wanted for his office, but found to be too expensive.
Employing the resourcefulness that characterized his working process, he decided to use a plastic spray developed by the U.S. military, and applied it over a lightweight, rounded-steel frame to produce these soft, glowing fixtures.
All Bubble Lamp models are produced in the same American factory that originally developed them in the 1950s.
The Bubble Lamp is produced in several shapes, including the classic spherical ball shape and an elongated oval shape.
Each model has a steel-wire skeleton on the interior, which is spray coated with the translucent plastic polymer
