Industrial Machine Bases for Custom Dining or Conference Tables and Store Displays
A client asked to see what interesting bases we had for tables. Here is a small sample of what we had. We just received a huge load of African hard wood called Anigre. We have possibly 100 large tables worth of wood here! Some boards are 2.5" thick x 12" wide and 14' long! We are now taking orders for custom tables.[gallery]

Mid Century Modern Portland
We have had the honor and pleasure of working with a great family recently; Cynthia and Linda and their 2 sons. They just bought a jaw dropping mid century modern Portland home. Their new house was so perfect for them. Their 2 sons have it made growing up with a back yard, more like a park, and a kidney shaped swimming pool. They bought a stunning newly upholstered Danish modern sofa from us that just hit our showroom floor, a industrial dresser for their son's room and they are looking at a rare 102" George Nelson slat bench that we just got in. Please enjoy this virtual tour of the house.

Walter Von Nessen, Nessen Lamp's Inc.
After training in Germany Walter Von Nessen set up Nessen Studio's in New York in 1927 to design and fabricate architectural lighting. He quickly gained a following of well-known modern architects, who commissioned him to design lighting and other household objects for there clients. Von Nessen was the only major designer to concentrate on innovative contemporary lighting. His focus was on creating adjustable indirect lighting using non-traditional materials. For these reasons he was recognized as the first industrial designer of his time. Greta Von Nessen, wife of Walter Von Nessen, revived Nessen Studio's after his death and developed designs of her own. Most notable is the Anywhere lamp which was designed in 1951. Nessen Studio's is now known as Nessen Lamp's Inc. and is still manufacturing many of there designs.
