About Nelson Bridge

Denise and Jonathan Nelson opened their boutique in Frenchtown, NJ in June 2006 called, Nelson Bridge, after the design firm they founded in 1996. The company is all about the love of modern design and the bridge between fashion and furniture.

Mr. Nelson is a furniture designer and Ms. Nelson is a fashion designer. Their custom designed products are mixed with other items from designers and companies that the Nelson’s have known and worked with over the years and whose work compliments their own.

Jonathan, a registered architect, designed the store to operate as both a laboratory for their new products and furniture, while also offering a source for interior designers, architects and the public. Mr. Nelson has been designing and building modern furniture since 1986 after graduating from the “Memphis Movement” inspired “Domus Academy” in Milan. Most of his furniture is limited production or one-of-a-kind and combines whimsical and classical forms of wood, aluminum, steel and glass.

Denise, a clothing designer, has recently set her sights on reworking vintage clothing by salvaging great embroidery or bead work and recreating a design that utilizes the quality of the past while embodying it in an up-to-date original design. Denise is a graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and after working with Madison Avenue fashion designer, Jackie Rogers, has been designing and producing her own clothing since 1996.

After many years based in New York and wholesaling via designers and boutiques around the country, the new Nelson Bridge store represents the couple’s first retail store and gives them a new home from which their many products and talents can be seen on a first hand basis. Now, they are proud to be able to share their designs with you through their website. Expect to see new designs in the coming months from Nelson Bridge as their new store inspires new products.
