HAY Nelson Saucer Bubble pendant light elliptical

Suspension lamp Nelson Saucer Bubble in a flat, wide ellipse shapeThe series of lamps Bubble was designed as early as 1942 by the pioneering American designer George Nelson and first produced in 1952. He was inspired to create the series by Swedish silk-covered pendant lights that he wanted for his office but found too expensive.He then used great ingenuity in the work process to develop the lampshades of the Bubble series, all of which consist of a lightweight steel frame and a self-crosslinking plastic spray applied to it. The fine lines of the frame remain visible, which is the special charm of the shades. The plastic spray is a development of the US military. It makes the lampshade look noble and elegant, and its translucent surface creates a very pleasant lighting in the room. In living rooms or bedrooms, the lamp looks just as beautiful and decorative as in a wide variety of commercial settings, such as a hotel lobby or foyer.Architect and visual artist George Nelson (1907 - 1986) was born in Connecticut and was one of the most influential figures in the crucial early days of modern design. He was educated at Yale and believed that a designer's job was to make the world a better place. In his various designs of furniture, lighting, and even buildings, he often took his cue from the perfection of nature's creations.
