O candeeiro de suspensão Nelson Saucer Bubble, da Herman Miller, é a exploração de George Nelson, em 1952, de formas orgânicas traduzidas em iluminação escultural. O designer desenvolveu esta peça a partir do seu fascínio pelas lanternas de papel japonesas, reinterpretando as suas delicadas pregas como geometria arquitetónica permanente. A abordagem de Nelson centrava-se na criação de volume através de elementos lineares repetitivos, resultando na superfície canelada do candeeiro que parece expandir-se a partir do seu eixo central. O processo de design envolveu envolver plástico em torno de uma armação de arame de aço, produzindo a característica qualidade translúcida da lâmpada e a sua difusão suave de luz.

Leo★★★★★
The glow it casts at night is warm and surprisingly even, and the saucer shape really does feel like a little piece of mid-century sculpture floating in the room. Assembly was straightforward, and it's become the first thing guests comment on.
Henry N.★★★★★
It’s hard to believe this was designed back in 1952—the organic, sculptural shape feels so modern above my dining table. The light it casts is soft and diffuse, making the whole room feel warmer, and the craftsmanship on the saucer profile is flawless.
Violet W.★★★★☆
The sculptural form looks almost like a piece of art when it's off, and the organic curves really soften the room's corners. It took a bit of patience to get the hanging height just right, but the even, diffused light it throws across our dining table has been worth the fiddling.
