The Nelson Cigar CrissCross Bubble Pendant is available in two sizes, and comes with a steel ceiling plate and a 1.8-metre-long cord to attach it to the ceiling. George Nelson first designed the Bubble Lamps in 1952, when he came across a Swedish hanging lamp that he wanted to acquire for his office. He was challenged by the expensive price and decided to make his own. The result was a series of elemental, spherical shapes like a rounded apple, a wide saucer and a shapely pear, among others.
