Design by George Nelson, 1947. Without question, the George Nelson Bubble Lamp® Cigar Floor Lamp is a tried-and-true standard of the modern vocabulary. George Nelson designed the first lamps in 1947. These lamps, with their simple sculptural shapes, are constructed of an innovative taut plastic that coats a steel wire-frame. Nelson's unique design and ingenious use of materials prove to eliminate glare and provide an abundant, yet diffused light. A quality which alone is unique to this material. From the forming of the wire-frame, to the spraying of the vinyl form, one-by-one, each Bubble Lamp is constructed to last decades and each Bubble Lamp is built to George Nelson’s original specifications. These famous lamps are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Floor lamp with brushed nickel stem and base. Choose from three shade sizes.

George NelsonWhen writing about the course of his remarkable 50-year career, George Nelson described a series of creative "zaps" — moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration "when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of." Nelson said that for a designer to deal creatively with human needs, "he must first make a radical, conscious break with all values he identifies as anti-human." Designers also must constantly be aware of the consequences of their actions on people and society. In fact, he declared that "total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything." So he said that rather than specializing, designers must cultivate a broad base of knowledge and understanding. Nelson did so as few are able, and, with the help of well-timed zaps, he helped define modern, humane design. Nelson Bubble LampsA mid-century classic, the Bubble Lamp was first designed by George Nelson in 1947 and was produced by Howard Miller starting in the early 1950s and ending in 1979. The supplier has reissued the Nelson Bubble Lamps to the original specifications, using the original Howard Miller tooling. These famous lamps are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Customer ReviewsA modern classic The George Nelson Lotus Floor Lamp is a gorgeous addition to my new home. I have it placed in my bedroom and it distributes a warm ambient light that's perfect for reading. I love this lamp so much, I'm thinking about getting a table lamp version. This lamp was my first purchase through YLighting and it won't be my last as the package came fast and in perfect condition. By: Jenny Y., Designer (West Los Angeles, CA) beautiful, a quality-made modern classic The George Nelson bubble lamp (medium) is a classic and I can see why it has been around for decades. The covering on the bubble is an interesting textured plastic that is high quality and gives the light a warm and interesting diffused glow, while providing enough light for reading. I had purchased this lamp and anothe style, thinking I would keep one. This is one of our favorite lamps and we seriously considered ordering the large size for another space in the house, but I had spent enough money this month! YLighting was very helpful and matched the sale price found at another site. Delivery took about a week. By: PrairieStyle, Homeowner (birmingham, AL) Really cool shape! Gives off great light! The lamp looks great in a modern living room. The light is bright and the size is not too overwhelming! By: Jillian S., Homeowner (New York, NY) We had shipping/damage issues but the product is awesome! Ordered Cigar Lamp. Received it via UPS and both base and shade were damaged. (The boxes were mangled, so it looked like a shipping issue). We ordered lamp thru ylighting.com but it was shipped by a store in California. I guess ylighting is a web-based middleman. Anyway, the customer service dept at ylighting was amazing (thank you Sherie) and arranged a call tag to ship the damaged lamp back and replaced it with a perfect new lamp. I would recommend ylighting to anyone. Their relationship with other lighting companies may cause issues...but ylighting takes full responsibility. As far as price...every on-line retailer sells these lamps for the same price, so it is all about customer service. By: Terry R., (Philadelphia, PA) Cool! We have this is our basement TV/office room. It looks great with both my husband's traditional desk and our more modern media center. Excellent quality. By: Jill, Homeowner (Seattle) Outstanding Product This is a great product. Super fast delivery and ease with ordering. Thanks again By: A.B., Designer (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) Great decor look of the lamp & great quality of light (soft indirect). A classic light being perfectly re-done. Nice, professional, and prompt service from YLighting. By: Dale M., Homeowner (Topanga, CA) Great decor look of the lamp & great quality of light (soft indirect). A classic light being perfectly re-done. Nice, professional, and prompt service from YLighting. Manufacturer defect in packing of the lamp base resulting in damage. YLighting is on top of it to get me a replacement lamp base from the manufacturer. By: Dale M., Great addition to our bedroom! Always loved this lamp and very glad I purchased it. Gives off balanced light throughout the room and has a great clean style. By: Aaron, Homeowner (Virginia) Excellent, easy to assemble lamp that goes well with many interiors My wife and I bought this lamp for our living room to match a Nelson pendant lamp in our dining room. They are perfect together and really balance the rooms, complementing our mid-century credenza and modern furniture. Nice lamp, high quality and super easy to assemble. Worth the cash. By: Paul W., (Moscow) A lighting design classic! I'd been coveting a Nelson Bubble floor lamp for some time. The light that shines from this is even and attractive. The quality of construction is evident. The base is all one piece, providing strength and stability, and the lamp shade is shipped in a separate box. Moreover, the Nelson Bubble lamps are still proudly made in the United States! This is a classic lighting purchase. I have mine in my bedroom, but they would do well in a living room or study as well. By: Richard D., Homeowner (San Diego, CA) Love it! We placed this lamp in our living room, right in our huge window overlooking the street. It's not the most logical placement, but I want everyone to see how cool it is! By: Keely P., Homeowner (Duluth, MN) Classic, eye catching, beautiful This is a great lamp, full of character but classic enough to work in a variety of settings. I paired it with a comfortable chair and ottoman in my living room. I also purchased the Robert Abbey Ariel table lamp and the lines of the two lamps look great together. My only regret is buying the medium - I think the large would be better for most rooms. Also, the shade casts a very bright white color when on in the evening -I would prefer a more subdued glow. By: Lisa, Renter (Indiana) Love my new Lotus Floor Bubble Lamp! I recently purchased the Lotus Floor Bubble Lamp, and it's made a great addition to my urban style loft. It was delivered promptly and came in perfect condition! It looks modern, yet classic. I got the medium, which is a versatile size. However, if you're looking to make a bold statement, I suggest going with the large. By: Ashley S., Homeowner Nelson Bubble lamp, Iconic and Fabulous ! This is my second nelson purchase from Ylighting .Fabulous looks fantastic (wish they made an even bigger one).Ylighting is a pleasure to do business with,great customer service,prompt delivery and packed perfectly . Thnxs Ylighting =) By: Raymond B., Designer (East Boston,Ma.) Attractive, but a little wobbly Definitely like the look of this lamp. The shade is of sturdy construction. However, the stand wobbles a little. I don't know if this is normal or if I got a defective product, but it's okay as long as I don't touch it. By: Linda, Homeowner (California) Fabulous lamp! This a classic! Goes well in my retro modern home. It's a must have! By: Lovesretromod, (Scottsdale, AZ) I absolutely love it! I ordered two cigar floor lamps for my living room. I was scared they would look too generically mid-century sterile, but they don't. the light that comes through the shade is soft, muted and perfect, even with a high wattage bulb. I love the floor switch, which is responsive with barely a nudge of my toe. I highly recommend this floor lamp and Ylighting! By: Alice, Homeowner (Brooklyn) Stylish and bright. We purchased the largest size of the Lotus Cigar lamp. Quite a splurge for us, but one we're not likely to regret. The lamp is stylish and bright, we use it as a general light for our living room, which has no ceiling fixture. It's big, yes, but the shape is so reduced that it isn't dominating the room. Room for improvement: I wish it came with a built-in dimmer. By: Anya, Homeowner (wisconsin) George Nelson Lotus Floor Lamp, just beautiful. The lamp arrived just as expected. Beautiful addition to my living room. It was shipped and arrived in perfect condition. This is my second experience with YLighting and on both occasions I was completely satisfied with the product. Keep up the good work! By: Gregory D., Tasteful, stylish and versatile. The Nelson bubble floor lamp (medium height, cigar shape) is a great addition to any home. The lamp is quite versatile-- it can be used in a casual setting or in a more formal setting. It was easy to set up and is elegant. By: Joyce F., Homeowner (New York, NY) Easy to assemble, but... We received the lamp in a timely manner, but when we opened the box with the base, the light bulb, which was just wrapped in a thin sheet (bag-like) of styrofoam, had been broken into countless pieces. To prevent mecury poisoning, we had to quickly open the windows, ban the dogs to another room, and vacuumed the pieces. What a disappointment with the packing that would allow the bulb to break! By: Beane, Homeowner (austin, tx) Outstanding Lamp with perfect design and lighting! I had considered this floor lamp for a long time and finally bought it through Y-Living. The lamp arrived very quickly, in perfect condition and was easy to assemble. The design and quality of the light is perfect! Only sorry that I did not buy it eariler! By: Nancy W., Homeowner (Hermosa Beach, CA, USA) These are beautiful floor lamps that add character to my living room. The classic design is timeless! I appreciated the customer service from YLighting for this purchase, and recommend them highly. By: D. W., Homeowner (Pasadena, California) Well proportioned for large spaces - timeless design. ...plan on ordering more. The service at Ylighting is second to none. By: Arch MD, Designer (Midwest) Very nice lamp Great design. Looks great! On another note, procesing and delivery by YLighting was perfect. Will order from them again By: Stephane A., Renter (NYC) A simple stylish addition to any room These lamps are great! We got one for a bedroom, then decided to get another for the living room. Another benefit is that we use this single-bulb lamp now in the evenings, and kill the overhead track lights which saves electricity and the environment.
