HAY Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant

The HAY Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant was designed by American designer George Nelson in 1947. He created these modernist designs when he was attempting to source some silk-covered Swedish lamps that were too expensive and too unavailable. He was then inspired by the polymer webbing used by the U.S. military and therefore reinvented this classic design with modern material and innovative thought. The spray on webbing polymer made these lights, not only more affordable, but also highly adaptable as he has now made the lamps available in an array of different sizes and shapes.

The saucer design is highly reflective of the era in which they were designed, the fascination with space and retro art was in full force and lead to designs such as the HAY Nelson Saucer Bubble Pendant. This classic ceiling light adds an elegant touch to any space as it comes with a steel ceiling plate, which allows it to delicately float overhead. The plastic material and wide surface area diffuses soft light into any interior and is perfect for any dining space, hallway or as a statement piece to add a classic touch to any space.
