Nessen "NT1402" Avion Table Lamps in Satin Nickel

Over ninety years ago, Walter von Nessen introduced his first important lighting concept – the swing-arm lamp for table, floor and wall applications. The year was 1927. That form should follow function was then on the frontier of design. Von Nessen was among its most perceptive pioneers. Through the years, our design parameters have not changed. We remain perfectionists whose primary market is the professional who appreciates what sets our products apart. With us, performance is the ultimate criterion. Expressions will relate to the times and the materials we fashion. But clean lines and classically pleasing proportions are the invariables. It will test the reader to find executions more straightforward than the signature concepts of our design partners. Our search for superior materials takes us to the quarries of Zaragoza, the marble finishers of Carrara, the glass makers of Murano, the brass mills of Dusseldorf and the looms of Kortrijk. Handheld buffing, polishing and finishing techniques complete the quality formula. All of these design and fabrication skills may also be brought to bear on your own special problems and client requirements. We will go out of our way to accommodate your requests for modifications and adaptations of our luminaires.
