The Nelson Crisscross Bubble Pendant is one of the Nelson Bubble Lamp series, a group of lighting fixtures in charming spherical shapes.
The crisscross pattern of the lamp’s structure adds an interesting dimensionality and soft light to any interior. George Nelson, inspired by a set of silk-covered Swedish hanging lamps, designed the series in 1952.
George Nelson
“Design is a response to social change.” - George Nelson.
Born in Connecticut, USA, George Nelson (1908-1986) was one of the most influential figures in the crucial early period of modern design. Trained at Yale as an architect and a fine artist, he believed that a designer’s job was to better the world, using the perfection of nature’s creations as his guide. Two formative years in Rome following his receipt of the prestigious Rome Prize brought him into contact with the world’s leading modernists, including Le Corbusier, Mies Van der Rohe, Walter Gropius, Gio Ponti, and many others, and helped shape his career as a writer and industrial designer, who would change the course of history.
