Robsjohn Gibbings

Don't forget Mom, Robsjohn Gibbings also designed a lot of custom pieces for his interiors and created iconic lamps through Hansen Lamps.  Hansen outsourced the lamps to a Spanish Manufacturer called Metalarte.  Before they were outsourced they had a German metalworker in queens making the lamps for them named Carl Knecht.  Hansen Lamps produced some of the most beautiful  yet simplistic and well machined lamps of the time.  The business is still in business today and they still create the iconic tripod lamp that Robsjohn Gibbings designed however the company is now called Hinson Lighting.  Earlier period pieces would have been created by Hansen.  Many of the earlier ones have 'Hansen Lamps New York' stamped on them, however not all of them do.  Todays been a little slow in the shop with all the snow we've been getting, so it's a good day to blog!  I'm getting anxious to hit the road and go out buying!  This wintry mess better not last too long.
