Nelson Ball Tripod Lamp
Elegant form, soft light
Variations of an essentially spherical form, and available as pendants, sconces, tripods, table, and floor lamps, the Bubble Lamp series is a distinguished and timeless George Nelson design. Set on a steel tripod stand, the perfectly rounded shape of the Ball Tripod Lamp illuminates the space around it. It includes a 7.5-foot plug-in cord. In 1952, a set of Swedish hanging lamps were introduced into the American market and George Nelson was impressed enough to want one for his office. A price tag of $125, steep at the time, prevented him from buying one but it also inspired him to design his own series.
