Light suspensions Design George Nelson - Ball

The Bubble suspension collection was designed in 1952 by Georges Nelson (1908 – 1986), an influential designer of the mid-20th century modern movement in the United States. Georges Nelson created numerous products that are now considered icons of mid-century modernism. The lampshade of the Bubble suspension consists of a translucent polymer fabric stretched over a fine steel frame. By transparency, the frame forms delicate geometric patterns, either crossed or vertical. The Bubble suspensions adorn the space with their pure and original presence. These evanescent and soft shapes produce a warm and diffused light. The Bubble suspension marked a revolution in the modernist lighting industry. Bubble represents the spirit of the fifties and the desire to break away from the classicism of existing models. Dimensions: Medium Ball: 480 (dia) X 395 (h); weight = 2.72 kg.
