Made in USA
The Nelson Cigar Bubble Pendant from Herman Miller is George Nelson's 1952 design that explored how soft plastic could reshape lighting by eliminating glare while maintaining brightness. Nelson developed a technique where spray vinyl is applied over a steel wire frame, creating a taut skin with vertical ribbing that diffuses light evenly in all directions. Each lamp is handcrafted in Michigan, ensuring the sculptural oval form that made these fixtures part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. The field-adjustable cord allows for customized drop heights in various spaces.

This is exactly as we had hoped. We have the Large Saucer version in our dining room. Within the same sightline we have a foyer with an old dumpy light. We went with the Large Cigar and it is just right. I would say with these Bubble Lamps that one should err on the side of "bigger". And, if you're wishing the fixture was brighter try our fix -- buy a twin-socket adapter. Using this we can put two 100 watt LED bulbs in which really makes the pendant shine, and the shade is such a high quality that you don't see the double-ness of the light sources. The appropriate dimmer switch then gives ultimate flexibility.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

We have been buying a lot of Nelson lamps in our SF condos because they are so beautiful and classy. This X-Large Cigar pendant really completes our grand entrance way along with a huge old painting.

Herman Miller

One of the most influential brands in American design, renowned for pioneering iconic mid-century modern furniture and lighting solutions, Herman Miller began its storied history in 1905 as Star Furniture Co. in Zeeland, Michigan. In 1923, businessman Herman Miller lent his name to the company, signaling a new chapter under the visionary leadership of his son-in-law, D.J. De Pree. This marked the beginning of Herman Miller's transformation into kingmakers of mid-century design.
