Made in USA
Introduced in 1952, the George Nelson Bubble Lamps by Herman Miller were (and are) important lighting pieces that are definitively mid-century modern in design. The collection features organically shaped lamps that were made by spray-coating a translucent plastic over a steel wire frame—a material application unexpectedly inspired by the military. The Nelson Pear Bubble Pendant is a cylindrical shape that balloons at the center, creating a soft light source that diffuses the light perfectly.

Beautiful, but small

This is smaller than the other saucer/ball/apple george nelson lamps that I purchased. Each to go bedrooms. The pear is probably my least favourite and the apple best fit for a bedroom. But really they are all classics and really you can't go wrong with any of them.

I like the brushed nickel canopy and metal rims, and the warm off white color of the shade.

This is the third Nelson lamp I have added to my NYC apartment and like the others it has transformed the space it lights through its unique texture and the warming glow it casts into all corners of the room.

Small Size Perfect for Bedroom/Office

I have a 1959 ranch house and am in the process of converting a bedroom into a home office. The Nelson Pear lamp was perfect. It's easy to install and an ideal mid-century modern upgrade to the awful ceiling fan the was there before. One thing I didn't read in the reviews was which size Pear Lamp would be right for a bedroom. So, the small is perfect for a 12X12 room. It would also work in a foyer or smaller kitchen. If you're putting it in a dining room, great room, living room or den, you might want to go with the medium. Especially if you have 10-foot ceilings. But in a smaller room with typical mid-century ceiling height, the small is the one to go with. And, yeah, it has a funky smell out of the box. Open a window for 48 hours and you're good.

It looks like sculpture when balanced with 2 other Nelson pendant lights in different shapes hanging at various lengths. Functions beautifully in high ceiling kitchen area with lots of glass.

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.
