There he designed and fabricated lighting, such as this 1928 lamp, the base of which references the jagged edges of the New York cityscape. Von Nessen’s streamlined Art Deco designs quickly gained him favor among many leading architects, who commissioned him to create custom light fixtures for their clients.
