Conveniently located at 812 North Wells Street in Chicago’s River North district, New Metal Crafts continues to reign as the lighting industry’s premiere lighting design, manufacturing and renovation company. Founded in Chicago by Armin Neumann over 77 years ago, the company is owned and operated by his son Jim who is himself a noted lighting expert and historian. Jim Neumann has successfully grown the company until it filled all four floors of the 30,000 square foot Wells Street showroom. About ten years ago a five-story factory was acquired to house the company’s manufacturing operations and design studios, as well as providing thousands of square feet of storage space for vintage and antique lighting fixtures collected from around the world. factors: Throughout its long history New Metal Crafts has consistently custom designed, manufactured and restored lighting fixtures of all shapes and sizes for many of the world’s most famous venues. In the Chicago area, these include the Chicago Theater, the Oriental Theater, the Genessee Theater, the Coronado Theater, the Rosemont Theater, Symphony Center, Lyric Opera House, the Field Museum, the Art Institute, Water Tower Place, Marshall Fields, Bloomingdale’s, Carson Pirie Scott, the Drake Hotel, the Blackstone Hotel, the Palmer House, the Ambassador West, Nick’s Fishmarket, the Wildfire Restaurants, the Rosewood Restaurant, the Rosemont Convention Center, the First Presbyterian Church, Old Saint Patrick’s Church, and the Carlyle Condominiums, downtown Chicago’s first upscale condominium building. New Metal Crafts also designed and built over 600 lighting fixtures for France’s Euro-Disney and created massive chandeliers for a ballroom in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A major office complex in Seoul, South Korea is elegantly illuminated with lighting from New Metal Crafts. addit_info: New Metal Crafts is certainly not limited to commercial applications. Many of the country’s top architects, interior designers, and custom home builders regularly come to New Metal Crafts to purchase lighting for their residential applications. Private residences featured in well-known shelter magazines frequently include decorative lighting from New Metal Crafts. The main showrooms on Wells Street display thousands of new and antique lighting fixtures in every conceivable style and finish. Some have compared the magnificent display of crystal chandeliers to France’s “Hall of Versailles”. Touring New Metal Crafts showrooms is a visual experience not to be missed.
