The Nelson Ball Bubble Pendant is a perfectly round sphere that emits warm, diffused light into any room.
Features
- Provides soft, glowing light
- Made of translucent plastic polymer shade with visible steel infrastructure
- Organic shape
This pendant light is available in three sizes and is hung from the ceiling with a 6-foot-long cord. The design was inspired by Swedish hanging lamps and was originally created in 1952 by George Nelson to be more affordable than the expensive Swedish lamps that influenced him. The pendant is made of a soft plastic material spray-coated around a steel wire frame, creating a rounded shape with a slightly visible wire frame that enhances the ambiance when the light is on.
