Designed by George Nelson and produced by Herman Miller with HAY, the Nelson Ball Wall Sconce is inspired by intricate mothballs and features a spherical shade hung from a walnut wall mount. Radiating a delicate soft glow, a swivel hinge allows for adjustment from left to right and up and down, making it the perfect addition to any residential or commercial space.
George Nelson read architecture at the renowned Yale University and completed his studies at the American academy in Rome. He was editor in chief of the 'Architectural Forum' from 1935 to 1944.
After having set up his own Architecture and Industrial design company in 1946, he began collaborating with Vitra in 1957. His pieces, such as the Coconut chair, his clocks and the Marshmallow Sofa, are regarded highly amongst the 20th Century design classics.
