Made in USA
The Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant from Herman Miller is George Nelson's 1952 exploration of organic forms translated into sculptural lighting. The designer developed this piece through his fascination with Japanese paper lanterns, reimagining their delicate pleating as permanent architectural geometry. Nelson's approach centered on creating volume through repetitive linear elements, resulting in the pendant's ribbed surface that appears to expand outward from its central axis. The design process involved wrapping plastic around a steel wire armature, producing the lamp's characteristic translucent quality and soft light diffusion.

Comments about Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant

The pendant light was exactly what I was looking for and I was delighted to see that it came in many sizes. It provides a warm comforting dimmable light and was easy to install. I couldn't be happier!

Comments about Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant

As an owner of a midcentury half-plex designed by the Streng Brothers and architect Carter Sparks, I felt compelled to purchase this stunning piece for our dining room! It felt like getting the cherry on the sundae as a completion to our design aesthetic and need to anchor our rooms that contains and nods to similar tones and shapes, and feels retro and futuristic all at once. We're over the moon to now be able to host friends, neighbors and family more confidently when touring the space. With such an easy installation and gratitude that it works with our existing dimmer, it gives a lovely character and fun retro mood to our home. We couldn't have had an easier transaction, prompt delivery, or more pleasant experience turning this "once upon a time wish-list lighting feature" into our everyday now reality, and it helps to know we are honoring the design our Streng HOA community reflects that was built in 1974 among the neighborhoods throughout Sacramento.

I love this timeless light fixture. The light is very soft and uniform and the fixture holds the space together so well. It looks like a floating cloud. It has far exceeded my expectations

Comments about Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant

The Nelson Saucer Bubble light has been wonderful, we first ordered a less expensive copy but when it arrived the quality was terrible and we sent it back. Then we ordered the original real Nelson and it has been great. Very high quality and the even light it displays is nice, especially with a dimmer switch. It has been very popular with everyone that sees it.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

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.
