Nelson Roll Bubble Pendant
Summary
The Nelson Roll Bubble Pendant illuminates any room with a soft, warm glow. With a silhouette softer than a square, its cylindrical form gently floats from the ceiling on an adjustable-length 10-foot cord. Nelson designed the Bubble Lamps in 1952, inspired by a set of Swedish hanging lamps that had a price tag too steep for him to afford at the time. The Roll shape was added to the series in 2018 after being rediscovered in the George Nelson Foundation archives.
