This wall lamp by Hay the Nelson saucer Wall is a design by George Nelson. Hay re-introduced this series in collaboration with Herman Miller, this series of lamps were originally designed in 1950.

The rounded silhouette of the Nelson saucer wall lamp is made by spraying a clear plastic polymer over a steel wire frame, giving it a soft, diffused light that creates an inviting atmosphere in every room. The wall lamp has a stylish look that is suitable for different spaces in houses, cafes and offices.

The Nelson saucer is part of a lighting series designed by George Nelson and produced by Herman Miller in the fifties.
