Suspension lamp Nelson Saucer Bubble Crisscross in wide ellipse shapeAlready in 1942, the pioneering American designer George Nelson created the series of lamps Bubble. He was inspired by Swedish silk-covered pendant lights that Nelson wanted for his office but found too expensive. With great ingenuity in the working process, Nelson developed the lampshades of the Bubble series. They are made of a lightweight steel frame and self-crosslinking plastic spray, a development of the U.S. military. The beautiful shape with the visible lines of the steel frame in combination with the special material make the pendant lamp Nelson Saucer Bubble Crisscross a lamp with a special look and very beautiful lighting effect, because the translucent material creates a uniform and very pleasant lighting effect.Architect and visual artist George Nelson (1907 - 1986) was born in Connecticut and was one of the most influential figures in the crucial early period 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.
