The Nelson Cigar CrissCross Bubble Pendant is part the Nelson Bubble Lamp series, a group of lighting fixtures in charming, spherical shapes. The elongated sphere of this lamp has an interesting crisscross pattern in its underlying structure. George Nelson, inspired by a set of silkcovered Swedish hanging lamps, designed the series in 1952.

Nelson Cigar Crisscross 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.
