Nelson Apple Bubble pendant, M
Description
The Nelson Apple Bubble pendant's rounded silhouette is created by spraying a translucent plastic polymer over a steel-wire frame, allowing it to emit a soft, diffused light that creates an inviting atmosphere to any room. The pendant is a stylish illuminator suited for various spaces in homes, cafes and offices.
Nelson Apple Bubble is part of a lighting series designed by George Nelson and produced by Herman Miller in the 1950’s. Nelson wanted to purchase a similar Swedish lamp made of silk, but instead, opted for designing his own version of the pendant to save time and money. The lamps in the collection are still manufactured at the same factory that originally started manufacturing them in 1952.

George Nelson (1908–1986) was a pioneering American architect and designer, regarded as one of the most influential figures of mid-century modernism. He studied architecture at Yale University and later in Rome, where he was introduced to European modernist thinking, which would profoundly shape his career.
In 1945, Nelson joined Herman Miller as Design Director, a role he held until 1972. Under his leadership, the company became a hub of American modern design, with Nelson bringing in talents such as Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard. This collaboration laid the foundation for many of the iconic pieces now part of Vitra's collection in Europe.
Beyond his role as a designer, Nelson was also a prolific writer, photographer and lecturer. His best-known works include the Nelson Bench (1946), the playful Marshmallow Sofa (1956) and the sculptural Ball Clock, Sunflower Clock and Eye Clock, designed between 1948 and 1960 as part of his iconic Wall Clocks collection.
