Nelson Cigar Tripod Lamp
Summary
Available in three sizes, small, medium, and large, the Nelson Cigar Tripod Lamp complements spaces of different sizes. Each size includes a 7.5-foot plug-in cord. 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 lamps with elemental, spherical shapes like a rounded apple, a wide saucer, and a shapely pear, among others.
