Happy with the lamp overall. I added a smart bulb for a warmer glow.
Wall Sconce, White Polymer Shade, Walnut & Chrome, Swivel Plug-In E26
Incl VAT, Free Shipping & Easy Returns.
A plug-in wall sconce with a swivel hinge and an adjustable cord — no electrician, no fixed position. The Ball Wall Sconce brings mid-century modern warmth to any room and lets you redirect the light without ever taking the shade off the wall.
In 1952, a set of Swedish hanging lamps arrived on the American market. George Nelson admired them enough to want one for his office, but their price put them out of reach — so he set out to design his own. The result was a family of lamps built on elemental, spherical shapes: a rounded apple, an elongated cigar, a shapely pear and more.
A real install in a styled room — mid-century modern character at a glance.

What inspired the Nelson Bubble Lamp design?
In 1952, Swedish hanging lamps were introduced to the American market. George Nelson admired them but couldn't afford them, so he designed his own. The Nelson Bubble Lamp series became iconic for its elemental spherical forms — ball, cigar, pear and saucer shapes that remain design classics today.
