I’m definitely digging this incarnation of the mid-century classic: the ubiquitous Nelson bubble lamp gets a colorful face lift exclusively for Room & Board.

What do you think? Fresh and timeless or total sacrilege?


Nelson Colored Pendants available from Room & Board: $359 – $435

    I want to like it, but I think the white originals are still the best.

    I think the colors are beautiful and subtle. I don’t think it devalues the original in any way.

    Fresh and delicious.

    Sorry, don’t think this was a good idea. Hope it is a limited run. What would George think?

    interesting, but geez – the crisp white has become so familiar that this almost looks like a production error. I’m not sure I’d enjoy it as much!
