The Nelson Cigar Tripod Lamp brings George Nelson's elongated shade down to a compact three-legged base, creating a sculptural interplay of rounded and linear forms. Designed as part of the 1952 Bubble Lamp Collection, its translucent polymer shade is formed over a lightweight steel framework, leaving slender vertical lines visible beneath the softly glowing surface. The shade diffuses light into a warm, even glow, while the tripod base gives the lamp a light, architectural presence. Available in three sizes, this lamp works as an ambient light source on tables and consoles or as a freestanding accent in larger configurations.
