Ted's background in fine art put him ahead of his peers and allowed him to create these unique lamps that were mysterious to them at a time when lamps lacked beauty and pizzazz. By the 1940s, ted had opened a large factory exclusively producing lamps for sale across the country. It rubbed shoulders with giants in the field like frederick cooper lamp company, a chicago-based company. However, the company took a short break during world war II and started a screw machine division that made thousands of bolts for rifles and other weapons. When the war ended, stiffel returned to his first love: lamps. In 1948, the stiffel company welcomed designer edwin j. Cole. During his stay, he rolled out some of the company's most impressive designs to date, especially the table lamps. Cole's mid-century lamps before stiffel were highly sought after with their tall shapes and ceramic bodies with copper chinoiserie finish.
