George Nelson originally designed the George Nelson 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 on the southern coast of Long Island. It was intended to showcase the magazine and to promote a post-war economy in which one could afford to own a vacation home. George Nelson designed the home and most of its furnishings. The George Nelson Half Nelson Table Lamp was designed specifically for the living room, however it only remained a prototype.
At a later date, George Nelson re-introduced his 'Half-Nelson' design to Koch & Lowy, an American Lighting Company. Koch & Lowy put the George Nelson Half Nelson Table Lamp into production in 1977.
At the time it was available in three finishes: polished brass, chromed-aluminum, and white or black enamel. The lamp was in production until the mid-eighties.
