Roll & Hill Bluff City 14 Inch Pendant
The Bluff City Light merges a traditional pendant shade and a wire-cage into an industrially inspired but refined pendant. Powder-coated metal surrounds the glass enclosed lamp and copper-plated socket. While this combination gives the light a vaguely postmodern feel that echos the Memphis movement, the design is actually named after the American city, which is also known as Bluff City.

ShopHerman Miller Nelson Saucer Crisscross Bubble Pendant
While outfitting his office, architect and Herman Miller design director George Nelson discovered a silk-covered Swedish hanging lamp that he coveted but found too expensive. He then recalled seeing a photo in the paper of Liberty ships being mothballed “by having the decks covered with netting and then being sprayed with a self-webbing plastic,” which got him thinking. “And then, Whammo!” Inspiration struck, and by the next night, Nelson had designed his first Bubble Lamp (1952) by spinning a skeleton of steel wires on a turntable and shooting it with translucent plastic until it was covered in a smooth, washable film. “When you put a light in it, it glowed,” he said. This is the authentic Bubble Lamp, produced in partnership with the George Nelson Foundation. Bulb (not included): LED, CFL or incandescent; E26 base; 60W max for small, 150W max for others. UL Listed. Made in U.S.A.

Articulated joints allow the glass to be arranged in a multitude of ways.
