The Nelson Pear Floor Lamp is designed with a thin tube leading up to a flattened pear shape shade with a circular flush base. Designed by George Nelsen in 1952, the lamp is meant to be lightweight and is often paired with the complementary Nelson Cigar Floor Lamp. As part of the Nelson bubble lamps collection, it was meant to mimic the silk-covered lamps of Sweden. In order to be cost effective, the lamp was created through the use of a translucent white plastic spray developed by the U.S. military for World War II.
Nelson Pear Floor Lamps range in heights from 52.5”-57.5" (133 -146 cm) and diameters of 13" and 17” (33, 43 cm).
