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.
Eero Aarnio designed the hanging bubble chair ! :)

The Lily Lamp is a hanging lamp designed by designer Vibeke Skar. It is designed based on the the Victoria water lily in OsloÍs Botanical Gardens. It is a very sleek design and can accommodate a variety of light bulbs so that you can change the amount of light it gives off.
You pull the string and it turns on, you pull it again and it turns off.
If there was a top ten list of the most recongnizable modern design prices ever, there's no debut George Nelson's Bubble Lamps would be on it. You can find them on Amazon.
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.
It was David Krypton lamp.
