How to Clean a Nelson Bubble Lamp

In 1947, George Nelson created the "Bubble" lamp for Howard Miller. Airy and lighthearted, these lamps were fashioned in sturdy, lightweight steel and a special translucent white plastic. In the late 1970s, the lamps were discontinued by Howard Miller. Modernica, a Los Angeles-based modernist furniture manufacturer, is now the only official authorized George Nelson Bubble Lamp maker.
