Bubble lamp
George Nelson designed the Bubble lamps in response to the demand for mass production. The goal was clear—the collection was intended to be a commercial success. For that reason, it was vital that the design lent itself well to efficient production, in order to keep costs down and reach a wider audience. Not only did the brand succeed in creating a collection that the industry quickly took to manufacturing, but the design was also special. The aesthetic of the lamps was intended to satisfy the demands of the wider audience.
As a result of this ambitious goal, the lamp was made using an inner steel construction and coated with a thin layer of plastic. This design continues to characterise the lamps to this day. The design is both beautiful and practical—it ticks all the modernist boxes.
The designer behind the collection was, and continues to be renowned. His designs, including some of his lighting solutions, are in exhibits all over the world. One of his most famous products is the experimental couch known as the Marshmallow.
