Best Answer

The first bubble lamp was designed in 1947 by an architect named George Nelson. Nelson created the design for the lamp while decorating his own office. He originally wanted a silk-covered Swedish hanging lamp, but it was too expensive for him to afford. Nelson's inspiration for the bubble lamp was a photo of mothballed Liberty ships.

How do Christmas bubble lights work?

A bubble light is a decorative device consisting of a liquid-filled vial that is heated and lighted by an incandescent light bulb. Because of the liquid's low boiling point, the modest heat generated by the lamp causes the liquid to boil and bubble up from the vial's base. The liquid is almost always methylene chloride, but some early bubble lights used a lightweight oil. The light from the lamp illuminates the bubbles from underneath, causing them to shine.
