Owing to the innovative shade design, the lamp provides a diffuse light without any glare so it can be used in any room. One of the most attarctive features of the lamp is the curved lines of the wire structure that supports the white shade creates the rounded shape of the Bubble Ball Lamp.
STORY BEHIND THE BUBBLE LAMP BALL
One of George Nelson's most famous collections, the Bubble Lamp series uses a mixture of inventive techniques in the wire structure and the stretched plastic shade. The plastic shade that is pulled tight across the wire framework is made from a special material that reduces glare and emits a subdued light, perfect for everyday tasks that gives a warm glow to the home. The Bubble Lamp Ball replica is for a more traditional style and is less experimental in its shape.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
George Nelson
1908-1986 (United States)
American industrial designer, George Nelson was one of the founders of American modernism. He was renowned for finding inspiration in the unlikeliest places. Instead of looking for a shape that resembled a human body, Nelson introduced the idea that anything could be turned into a unique furniture design. His most famous pieces are based on coconuts and marshmallows.
"I have never met a designer who was retained to keep things the same as they were”
