The classic bubble lamp

May 8th, 2008

Back in the ’40s George Nelson created the “bubble lamp” which were discontinued at the end of the ’70s. Modernica picked up the line and it’s now back on the market. The classic lamps are simple and distinguishable. They are created with a steel frame and tautly stretched white plastic polymer (that feels like fabric to me). The big bubbles spread the light evenly through a room and will definitely be the topic of conversation at any dinner party. I found this large Saucer Bubble Lamp at Velocity. It sells for $365. It also comes in smaller sizes.
