Nelson Ball Pendant

In 1947, when George Nelson embarked on the task of decorating his newly opened office in mid-town Manhattan, he found the silk-covered Swedish hanging lamp that he coveted to be prohibitively expensive. So he decided to design his own.

The “bubble” lamps, as they were called, were first introduced in 1950 by the Howard Miller Company and since then became a favorite.  Using a spray coating of translucent plastic polymer over a skeleton of steel wire, Nelson created an alternative to traditional pendants and chandeliers, offering large-scale, diffuse lighting for all size and manner of interiors.

Consider adding the Nelson Ball Pendant to your own home and any room that you wish because this is something that you will have for a long time, be in style, and keep your home warm and inviting.
