A mid-century classic icon, the Nelson Bubble Lamp was first designed by George Nelson in 1947 and was produced by Howard Miller starting in the early 1950s and ending in 1979. Modernica, our licensed supplier, has reissued the George Nelson Bubble Lamps to the original specifications, using the original Howard Miller tooling. These famous Nelson Bubble Lamps are presently a part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

It was in 1947 that George Nelson discovered a self webbing material used to preserve ships in New York. He became convinced that the translucent material would be perfect to create bubble lamps which were organic in design. He made a metal frame, tracked down the source of the webbing material and then created a large glowing sphere and named it the Bubble Lamp. Nelson made many variations to the original bubble lamp shape. These include Saucer, Ball, Cigar, Apple, Pear, Criss Cross, Lantern and Propeller.
