About Meyda Lighting

History

Meyda Tiffany Lighting was founded when Meyer Cohen was asked by his wife Ida, to build a stained glass window in their kitchen so they wouldn't have to view the vintage cars in their neighbor's driveway. Meyer was a master craftsman and inventor, his wife Ida, was a natural business woman - together they combined their names to form the Meyda Lighting Brand we know today. What began as a hobby evolved into America's Premier decorative lighting manufacturing and importing company. Today Meyda Lighting continues to operate as a family-run business, with the Cohens' son, Robert, at the helm and grandsons Chester, Max and Ben by his side. The company was founded on a Do it yourself philosophy. This spirit has led the company’s strategy of in-sourcing technology, absorbing competitors and buying vendors. Over the years, the Meyda family of Lighting companies has evolved and is based in the 180,000 square-foot headquarters and manufacturing facility in Yorkville, New York.
