Architect George Nelson, Herman Miller’s design director from 1945 to 1972,
once remarked, “Every truly original idea seems to find its most important
expression in a chair.” And then he blew the doors off lighting design.
While outfitting his office, Nelson discovered a silk-covered Swedish
hanging lamp that he coveted but found too expensive, then recalled seeing
a photo in the paper of Liberty ships being mothballed “by having the decks
covered with netting and then being sprayed with a self-webbing plastic,” which
got him thinking. “And then, Whammo!” Inspiration struck, and by the next
night, Nelson had designed his first Bubble Lamp® (1952) by spinning a skeleton
of steel wires on a turntable and shooting it with translucent plastic until it
was covered in a smooth, washable film. “When you put a light in it, it glowed.”
This is the authentic Bubble Lamp by Herman Miller, produced along with the George
Nelson Foundation.
