As elemental as light
With a beautifully flared lampshade and a stable steel base, the Nelson Pear Lotus Floor Lamp has a tall, sculptural presence. It is available in two sizes to complement interiors of different sizes. George Nelson first designed them in 1952, when he came across a Swedish hanging lamp that he wanted to acquire for his office. He was challenged by the expensive price and decided to make his own. The result was a series of elemental, spherical shapes like a rounded apple, a wide saucer, an elongated cigar, and a shapely pear, among others.
