Replica George Nelson Saucer Bubble Lamp

The Bubble Lamp was designed by George Nelson who was the creative director of the prestigious design studio Herman Miller from 1946 to 1972. In 1998 Modernica acquired the original Howard Miller tooling and became the exclusive authorised manufacturer of George Nelson Bubble Lamps. Today the Bubble Lamps have become a modern classic and is featured as a permanent collection in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Our Replica Bubble Lamp is a premium Zest Lighting reproduction of the original by George Nelson.

George Nelson got his inspiration form Liberty Ships being mothballed. When Nelson was outfitting his office in 1947, he coveted a silk-covered Swedish hanging lamp but found it prohibitively expensive. He 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,” said Nelson. He convinced himself it would be perfect for lighting. He made a metal frame, tracked down the source of the webbing material and by the next day he created a big glowing sphere and the Bubble Lamp was born.

  • Our Replica George Nelson Saucer Bubble Lamp is a replica of an original design
  • Its base has a solid metal backing to provide a strong frame. Two shade sizes are available:
    • Medium: Diameter 60-65cm x Height 26cm
      • Due to its highly complicated manufacturing process, the shade diameter may slightly vary
      • However, it remains close to the original medium size of 63cm
    • Large: Diameter 90cm
  • Comes with a 150cm white adjustable cable
  • A modern classic
  • Takes a standard E27 Globe
  • Designer: George Nelson
  • Design Studio: Modernica
  • Launched: 1947.

Please note that this is a premium Zest Lighting replica of the original design. Our Replica George Nelson Saucer Bubble Lamp has been rigorously tested for quality control throughout each stage of the production process. We specialise in the sale of replica designer lighting and are so confident in the quality of our replica of the Bubble Lamp that we offer a 30-day return policy on it.

Below, we compare the most common differences between a good replica and a bad replica of the Bubble Saucer Pendant. We have seen almost every variation before settling on our current model.
