HAY Nelson Propeller Bubble Pendant

The HAY Nelson Propeller Bubble Pendant was designed by George Nelson in 1947. Its clean, minimal form was inspired by a set of Swedish silk-covered lamps that captivated Nelson, though they were both costly and difficult to source. In response, he developed his own interpretation using a spray-on webbed polymer over a metal skeleton frame, creating a lightweight, sculptural light for his home and office.

When illuminated, the Nelson Propeller Bubble Pendant casts a warm, ambient glow. When switched off, it remains a striking visual feature. Thoughtfully designed in an off-white finish, the Nelson Propeller Bubble Pendant offers a timeless aesthetic that suits both residential and commercial interiors. The wider Nelson Bubble Collection includes a variety of pendant shapes, along with a coordinating wall lamp.
