The Nelson Cigar Crisscross Bubble Pendant is part of the Nelson Bubble Lamps, a series of lighting fixtures in charming, spherical shapes. The elongated sphere of this lamp has an interesting crisscross pattern in its underlying structure. George Nelson, inspired by a set of silk-covered Swedish hanging lamps, designed the series in 1952.

Use with up to 150 watt bulb. Light bulb not included. Hardwiring required.

A Beautiful Curve

The Nelson Cigar Crisscross Bubble Pendant is available in two sizes, and comes with a steel ceiling plate and a 6-foot cord to attach it to the ceiling. George Nelson first designed the Bubble Lamps in 1952, when he came across a Swedish hanging lamp that he wanted to acquire for his office. He was challenged by the expensive price and decided to make his own. The result was a series of elemental, spherical shapes like a rounded apple, a wide saucer, and a shapely pear, among others.
