"In 1952, a set of Swedish hanging lamps were introduced into the American market. George Nelson was impressed enough to want one for his office. Their expensive price prevented him from buying one — but also inspired him to design his own. The result was a series of lamps with elemental, spherical shapes: a rounded apple, an elongated cigar, a shapely pear, among others."
