George Nelson for Mondernica Medium Saucer Bubble Pendant. Original Price : $645
SOLD!
Design Plus Gallery presents a Reproduction Saucer Shaped Bubble Lamp from Modernica, Orignally Designed by George Nelson in 1952. While outfitting his office, architect and Herman Miller design director George Nelson discovered a silk-covered Swedish hanging lamp that he coveted but found too expensive. He then recalled seeing a photo in the paper of Liberty ships being mothballed “by having the decks covered with netting and then being sprayed with a self-webbing plastic,” which got him thinking. “Inspiration struck, and by the next night, Nelson had designed his first Bubble Lamp by spinning a skeleton of steel wires on a turntable and shooting it with translucent plastic until it was covered in a smooth, washable film. “When you put a light in it, it glowed,” he said. In good condition, minimal wear from usage.
