George Nelson‘s Bubble Lamp

Bubble Lamp系列灯具是著名美国设计师George Nelson的杰作，由家具厂商Herman Miller出品。他用钢丝编织骨架，并用半透明的塑料为灯体制作光滑，便于清洁的灯罩。当你打开灯时，感觉好像整个灯体都在发光一般。随后，Bubble Lamp也从最初的一款灯具，发展成了各式各样的家居灯具产品，深受世人喜爱。

While outfitting his office, Nelson discovered a silk-covered Swedish hanging lamp that he coveted but found too 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,” 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, produced in partnership with the George Nelson Foundation.
