Mid-Century Cigar

George Nelson's Bubble Lamp, designed in 1947 for Herman Miller, revolutionized pendant lighting through abstract geometry and diffused light. The cigar form is one of the iconic shapes from the original collection. Our reproduction maintains the same restrained proportions and optical diffusion of the original, available in multiple scales to suit different spaces.

Materials

Bubble Shade
The spherical acrylic shade [object] is molded from translucent plastic with a satin finish [feature] and provides even, glare-free light diffusion throughout the room [effect].

Brass Suspension
The mounting hardware is cast brass with a polished finish, anchoring the shade securely while remaining minimal in profile.

Electrical Assembly
E27 socket compatible, 20W rated, 2m power cord (no plug included for regional compatibility).

Soft Architectural Form

Slightly tapered proportions and rounded edges give the pendant a balanced, architectural presence. The shape feels restrained and modern, but with enough softness to work comfortably in bedrooms, dining spaces, or reading corners.

Channel-Stitched Construction

Vertical stitched panels create a rhythmic pleated effect that gives the shade dimension and softness. The tailored lines reference midcentury Scandinavian lighting while introducing a more sculptural silhouette.

Textured Fabric Shade

The softly structured shade is wrapped in a woven fabric with a subtle natural texture that diffuses light gently throughout the room. Its off-white tone keeps the piece airy and quiet rather than overly decorative.

Warm Ambient Glow

When illuminated, the fabric construction filters light into a warm, even glow that feels closer to lantern lighting than exposed overhead illumination — designed to create atmosphere rather than harsh brightness.

Questions About The Nimbus Cigar Pendant

How long until I receive my order?

The Nimbus Cigar Pendant arrives approximately 4-6 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source.

What is your return policy

The Nimbus Cigar Pendant can be returned after receiving the order only if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Nimbus Cigar Pendant ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
