Amber Bubble Lamp For Sale on 1stDibs
With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the amber bubble lamp you’re looking for. Each amber bubble lamp for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using glass, metal and brass. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer amber bubble lamp, there are earlier versions available from the 20th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right amber bubble lamp, those designed in Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency styles are of considerable interest. Many designers have produced at least one well-made amber bubble lamp over the years, but those crafted by Glashütte Limburg, Helena Tynell and Heinrich Gantenbrink and Helena Tynell are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
How Much is a Amber Bubble Lamp?
An amber bubble lamp can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $1,474, while the lowest priced sells for $495 and the highest can go for as much as $6,800.
Finding the Right Lighting for You
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About Amber Bubble Lamp
- Who makes Nelson bubble lamps?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Herman Miller makes Nelson bubble lamps. George Nelson first created the steel lamps with silk shades in 1952 with inspiration from a set of Swedish silk lamps that he had passed on purchasing due to their price. It was his desire to produce something similar for a more accessible price. On 1stDibs, find a collection of George Nelson lighting.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022George Nelson Bubble Lamps are made of steel wires, which form a durable framework for the lamp. A plastic polymer material spread over the wires forms the shade which is translucent to give the lamp a soft glow. Inspired by Swedish lamps, these mid-century modern light fixtures are still made by the legendary furniture manufacturer Herman Miller today. Shop a range of George Nelson Bubble Lamps on 1stDibs.
