George Nelson bubble lamp table version: sculptural shade, steel base, three sizes, plug-in cord with switch.
A spherical or bulbous polymer shade on a steel pedestal reads as a sculptural accent in bedrooms and living rooms—this is the table-lamp version of Nelson's 1952 bubble design. The translucent white shade diffuses light evenly across a desk or nightstand without harsh shadows. Check your ceiling height and table depth: the tallest model reaches 29.5 inches.



White translucent polymer shell with internal wire ribbing. Steel pedestal and circular footplate finished in silver.
In-line on/off switch integrated into the power cord for one-handed operation at the fixture.
Model A (29.5″ tall, 11″ diameter), Model B (24.8″ tall, 11.8″ diameter), Model C (26.4″ tall, 11.8″ diameter). All the same price.
Any E26 or E27 base bulb (the standard screw-in size). The fixture itself doesn't come with a bulb, so choose LED, incandescent, or CFL based on your wattage needs and light color preference.
Model A (29.5″ tall) suits taller nightstands and low shelves. Model B (24.8″) fits compact desks. Model C (26.4″) is the middle ground. All three have the same 11–11.8″ shade diameter. Pick based on your table height and available floor space.
Yes. Select your plug type at purchase (US, UK, AU, or EU). The fixture itself runs on 110–240V, so it works anywhere with the correct plug.
The cord is 150 cm (59 inches). Measure from your outlet to the lamp location before ordering. See photos for how it looks on a typical table or nightstand.
