Modernica Half Nelson Table Lamp

Reintroduced June 2011. Now shipping. Introducing the 'Half-Nelson' Table Lamp, a magnum opus from the innovative George Nelson Office, circa 1950. The 'Half-Nelson' Lamp is a definitive example of George Nelsons visionary design. Stripped down into the most essential shapes, Nelson playfully transforms a cylinder, rod and discus into an enduring work of art. The 'Half-Nelson' Table Lamp utilizes a pivoting shade, which is adjustable both left and right and up and downgiving it the ability to direct light in all directions. The cylinder base and disc are both constructed of black powder-coated aluminum, while the underside of the disc is powder-coated white. The stem connecting the two is made of chromed-aluminum and the on/off switch is built of machined-anodized aluminum. George Nelson originally designed the 'Half-Nelson' Table Lamp for a large-scale design project, Holiday House. Holiday House was a commissioned design vacation home for a magazine of the same name. The house was built in 1950
