Story
Part of the iconic Bubble collection, the Roll Pendant Lamp sits perfectly alongside the classics with an eye-catching new shape that provides a more angular contrast when compared with the other rounded forms. George Nelson’s original designs date back to 1947, when the designer created them as an alternative to more expensive silk-covered lamps. Using an innovative self-webbing plastic spray, he produced a series of ethereal designs that have become Modernist design staples.
