Modern American Lighting by George Nelson

Trained as an architect, George Nelson found a fresh solution to lighting design in the organic forms of his “bubble” lamps. The lamps were produced in 1952 by spray coating a skeleton of steel wire with a layer of translucent plastic that allowed light to shine softly through and protected the eye from glare. The tautly stretched plastic emphasizes the simple forms and sculptural qualities of the lamps.

Modern Table and Task Lamps

Lytegem Lamp Brazo Task Lamp
Newly available in a limited commemorative edition from Lightolier is the classic Lytegem Lamp (1965) by Michael Lax. Recognized by the late noted industrial designer Jay Doblin as one of the 20th century's 100 great product designs, the Lytegem emits localized light for tableside reading. Made from LEDs and recyclable aluminum, Pablo Pardos innovative Brazo Task Lamp (2006) is the first LED task light to feature focus control, providing both a variable beam spread and focused directional light.

 

Mix Task Lamp Cortina Table Lamp Tube Top Table Lamp - Small Leaf Light
This sophisticated reading lamp draws a mere five watts of energy and delivers an intense, warm and pleasing light for an average duration of some 50,000 hours (2,000 hours is the average for a normal halogen bulb). Defined by a structural and material simplicity, the Cortina Table Lamp and Floor Lamp (2000) by Pablo Pardo simultaneously contain and diffuse light. The compact polycarbonate shade is virtually architectural, a thin rectangle of transparency that delineates the form and filters light through an external fabric diffuser, which is stretched over the top, down to the base. The satisfying composition features a transparent acrylic base that supports a lightweight mesh shade held in place by tension. The effect is that of a floating form over a barely visible base, tethered only by a fabric-covered cord. It's been called the Aeron of lamps and its controls have been compared with those on an iPod, but technology is only half of the story when it comes to the new Leaf Light. The other half is sustainability

Floor Lamps

Brazo Floor Lamp Gilda Floor Lamp
Made from LEDs and recyclable aluminum, Pablo Pardo’s innovative Brazo Floor Lamp (2006) uses the same body as his Brazo Task Lamp, but with an extension piece for added height. Few floor lamps mix elements of traditional and - industrial design with the grace and impeccable styling of Enrico Franzolinis Gilda Floor Lamp (1997)
