Design by George Nelson, 1952. Produced by Herman Miller. Handcrafted in Michigan, USA Without question, the Nelson Cigar Crisscross Bubble Pendant is a tried-and-true standard of the modern vocabulary. George Nelson designed the first lamps in 1952. These lamps, with their simple sculptural shapes, are constructed of an innovative taut plastic that coats a steel wire-frame. Nelson's unique design and ingenious use of materials prove to eliminate glare and provide an abundant, yet diffused light. A quality which alone is unique to this material. From the forming of the wire-frame, to the spraying of the vinyl form, one-by-one, each Bubble Lamp is constructed to last decades and each Bubble Lamp is built to George Nelson's original specifications. These famous lamps are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Brushed nickel canopy. Each pendant comes with 6 feet of wire that can be field shortened. Available in two sizes. Small option shown.
