George Nelson's Bubble Lamps are without a doubt one of the most iconic Mid-Century design pieces. I've always been fascinated by them. Their varying organic shapes are highlighted by translucent plastic polymer shades, resulting in a classic Mid-Century look with a touch of East Asian culture. 




Another fascinating feature of the Bubble Pendants is that they work in any interior space - home office, living room, bedrooms, dining areas, or even commercial spaces. They blend in seamlessly, providing soft, diffused light. 



I live in an old house, and my eyes have been getting tired and strained from staring at a screen for hours in my dimly-lit home office. It needed good overhang lights. I wanted to get the Bubble Pendant, but I figured having one wouldn't be bright enough because I would essentially have to rely on a single light bulb to illuminate the whole room. 




Then, I found the solution to my quandary. There is a device that allows me to group and install 3 Bubble Pendants without any additional electrical work. I thought it was a magnificent idea because it meant 3 light bulbs - more lumens, brighter room. Besides, smaller Bubble Pendants look better when they're grouped together. 

The Nelson Triple Bubble Lamp Fixture has 3 diverters so that 3 pendants are connected and therefore function as one light fixture. 


You can freely choose 3 pendants - for a more harmonious and streamlined look, you can opt for 3 identical pendants. 


Or if you want more character and drama, you can opt for 3 different pendants. 



They create a striking visual contrast. 



You can go with a larger-sized ball lamp if you plan on placing a single lamp. However, if you're planning on installing the Nelson Triple Bubble Lamp Fixture, I suggest sticking to smaller pendants, so they hang naturally without looking crowded. 



Simply airy and exquisite! 



The Bubble Lamp is available in other types like table lamps or floor lamps, in case you want to avoid additional electrical work. 



The shade reveals the steel infrastructure and its voluminous shape is tastefully elegant and ethereal. 



George Nelson's Bubble Lamps are more than a light source. They not only illuminate space but also introduce visual interest and add warmth to any room.
