Nelson Ball Bubble Pendant Light

Round pendant lamp made of thin-walled polymer

The Nelson Ball Bubble pendant lamp from HAY was designed by George Nelson in 194 7. At the time, Nelson was looking for lighting for his office and drew inspiration from a series of satin-finish Swedish pendant lamps. However, since the price of the lights was too high for him, he decided to create his own. For his design, he crafted a steel wire frame and used a plastic spray developed by the U.S. military. This coated the frame like a cocoon, creating a uniquely light and elegant look. The lamp went into mass production and is still manufactured today in the same factory as back then.

Soft, glare-free light

The light shines gently through the thin-walled polymer, providing a pleasant, glare-free illumination in the room. The lamp can be stylishly arranged individually or in groups above a dining table or desk. George Nelson created several versions of the lamp, all of which can be beautifully combined with one another.
