The pendant light combines spherical form with geometric crisscross detailing across its surface. Its steel ceiling plate provides secure mounting, while the white finish offers warm diffused illumination. The crisscross pattern creates corresponding shadows on surfaces below, and the medium size suits various ceiling heights.
Hay's 'Nelson Ball Crisscross Bubble' pendant light is as smooth an amalgamation of angular and curvilinear you'll see. The vision of designer George Nelson (1908-1986), the light is taken from the American's wider 'Bubble Lamp' collection, which was created in 1952 and inspired by a set of hanging silk covered Swedish lamps encountered by the designer. Affixed to the ceiling with a steel plate and featuring a series of crisscrossed lines along its body, this medium-sized version of the wide white pendant light offers a warm diffused light from overhead that meets surfaces with a corresponding patterned shade.
