George Nelson
George Nelson, born 1908 in Hartford, Connecticut was an American industrial designer and one of the founders of American Modernism. He did not originally set out to become an architect but fate lead him to the path when one rainy day he happened upon the architecture school at Yale, when he ducked into a building and as he walks his way through the building, he immediately found where he belonged. Entering the profession in the depths of the Great Depression, Nelson competed for and was awarded a Rome Prize, which provided a two-year stipend to study at the American Academy in Rome. George Nelson shaped the course of design in America for over four decades. Many of his designs were known worldwide including the Coconut Chair, Marshmallow Sofa, and Ball Clock to name a few.CONTEMPORARY INSPIRATION
GENTLE TO THE EYE ENVELOPING LIGHT
The Nelson bubble lamps are comprised of an assortment of lights in various spherical silhouettes. Produced in 1952 when Nelson was inspired by a hanging Swedish lamps, he thought it was hard to produce and later on created his own version by combining a resinous lacquer used by the military for protecting decommissioned ships and planes then spraying it over a wire care. His process was more efficient but it paved the way to the many other designs he was able to produced that became an instant mid-century modern classic.
A BOASTING APPEAL
Designed in 1952, the George Nelson Bubble Lamp is style by Designer Editions in a crisscross or diamond like pattern using a steel wire mesh then a stretched plastic shade is wrapped around the spherical bubble.

The sturdy delicate steel frame makes it look delicate but it has a floating quality that will look well anywhere you place it.
