George Nelson Web copy Around 1950 the
United States were characterized by a firm belief in progress accompanied
by a lasting economic boom. Anything seemed possible and everybody
wanted to be modern. With a view to bringing modern design right into
the American home, George Nelson designed a range of products offering
a new and unconventional interpretation of such everyday items as
lamps, wall-clocks and other domestic accessories. And right into
the 1970s Nelson's New York design studio continued to produce a multitude
of designs such as the "Bubble Lamp" and the "Ball Clock", items which
have now become icons of mid-century design. prices on application. to order or enquire e-mail fe@globalpiece.com
