Trained as an architect, George Nelson found a fresh solution to
lighting design in the organic forms of his “bubble” lamps. The
lamps were first produced In 1952 by spray coating a skeleton of
steel wire with a layer of translucent plastic that cuts glare but
allows light to softly shine through. The tautly stretched plastic
polymer emphasizes the simple forms and sculptural qualities of the
lamps. All lamps are built to Nelson’s specifications.
