Who made Tessa furniture?
1 Answer

Tessa furniture was not made by anyone. Rather than a brand produced by a manufacturer, Tessa furniture was a maker in its own right. Fred Lowen, Howard Lindsey and Sigi Danielzik established the company in Melbourne, Australia, in 1968. Although it closed in 2019, Tessa furniture remains well-known for its mid-century modern furnishings. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of vintage furniture.
