George Nelson for Howard Miller Small Cigar Bubble Lamp, ca 1950s

Located in Cathedral City, CA
George Nelson for Howard Miller Small Cigar Bubble Lamp, ca 1950s
This is an iconic bubble lamp designed by George Nelson, originally for the Howard Miller Clock Company. As you can see in the images this has the original sticker still attached to the metal frame. These were in original production from the 50s through the very early 70s before production was discontinued. Newer ones have been produced by various companies including Modernica, Gossamer and now the officially licensed lamps are produced by Herman Miller. These produce the most beautiful yellow glow when lit. Vintage ones throw a nicer light since the material has mellowed where newer ones will throw a white light.
