Nessen Studios, Inc.

Nessen Studios was founded in 1927 at 151 East 38th Street in New York by husband and wife designers Greta and Walter von Nessen. The firm produced modern objects with practical uses in the home, such as lighting, glassware, furniture, and tablewares. Nessen Studios earned a reputation for its work on indirect lighting, particularly popular with architects. Business remained strong throughout the Depression. The firm won a gold medal at the Paris Exposition of 1937. Nessen Studios ceased production during World War II due to scarcity of metal for consumer products due to the war effort. Following Walter’s death in 1943 and the end of the war, Greta reopened the studio and continued to make her own designs.... more.
