Hay George Nelson Bubble Ball Wall Sconce

Designed by pioneering American designer George Nelson in 1947. and first produced in 1952. the Bubble Lamp signalled 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 characterised his working process. he decided to use a self-webbing plastic spray developed by the U.S. military. and applied it over a lightweight. rounded-steel frame to produce these soft. glowing fixtures.
