History of Laurel Lamp Company: The Laurel Lamp Manufacturing Company Inc. (often referred to as the Laurel Lamp Company or Laurel) was an American manufacturer of lamps and home furnishings based in Newark, New Jersey from 1946 to 1981. The Laurel Lamp Company was founded by Max Weiss and his two sons, Murray and Harold Weiss. Laurel was known for its original mid-century modern lamp designs and other home furnishings in traditional, contemporary, and post-modern styles. The company’s design work was overseen by co-founder and president Harold Weiss and was supplemented by collaborations with notable designers including Pierre Cardin, Bijan of California and the House of Salviati in Murano, Italy. Many of Laurel’s designs were original concepts created in-house by co-founder and president Harold Weiss, American sculptor Richard “Dick” Barr and other staff designers. Notably in 1971, Laurel collaborated with the Venetian glass manufacturer, The House of Salviati in Murano, to create Venetian glass sculptural lamps. In 1977, the company partnered with French designer Pierre Cardin to produce a lighting collection as part of Cardin\'s entry into the American furnishing industry.
