This iconic piece was originally created in the early 1940s for Channel Heights, a residential development for shipyard workers in San Pedro, California. Several variants of the Boomerang Chair were developed. This is the design featured in Women's Day Magazine in 1945, and produced for the Logar House in 1951. Its details have been refined by Dion Neutra, who is the architect’s son and a master in his own right.
This graceful free-form table first came to the attention of the public in 1945, when it appeared in Women's Day Magazine, along with Boomerang Chair. Originally designed for Richard J. Neutra’s own home, its generous, organic shape and solid construction complement his seating solutions perfectly and enhance a wide range of environments.
Originally designed for the Lovell Health House in 1929, this version of Easy Chair only existed as a drawing until recently. Unlike the plywood frame version, it has the dynamic steel frame envisaged by the architect in a sketch now kept at the UCLA Archive. While reminiscent of Bauhaus furniture, the organic solid oak armrests lend it a comfort and solidity all of its own. The ottoman complements the chair perfectly to form a distinctive ensemble that has the potential to become a modern classic.
Developed for the Lovell Health House in 1929, this chair has the distinctive back spring that sets it apart from cantilever designs by fellow pioneers such as Marcel Breuer, Mart Stam, or Mies van der Rohe. The back spring makes the chair more comfortable by enabling the seat and backrest to move separately – an innovation that earned Richard J. Neutra a patent in 1931. Our Cantilever Chair Steel has a sitting height of either 44 cm or, as an option, 49 cm, making it ideal for use with conference tables.
Alpha Seating is based on the cube-like sofa elements Richard J. Neutra used to create intimate, inviting “reading corners” at the Lovell Health House (1929). He later extended the range for use at Case Study House #13, a Neutra House that was never built. While originally intended as built-in furniture, these elegant sofa elements really come into their own as freestanding objects whose assured proportions bring style and intimacy to a wide range of environments.

Richard J. Neutra developed this version of Cantilever Chair Steel for the Branch House (1942), where he wanted a more relaxed, organic feel. The plywood frame and distinctive back spring create a soft, elastic seating experience that is further enhanced by the broad, comfortable armrests. With its elegant style and natural finish oak veneer, this informal chair is equally suited for home and professional environments.
Like Boomerang Chair and other pieces, this distinctive stool was developed for the Channel Heights residential development (1942) in San Pedro, California. To help occupants make the best use of the available space, Richard J. Neutra designed a stool that would double as a small occasional table simply by removing the cushion. The profiles of the “crossed” wooden base are shaped like an airfoil.
Designed exclusively for the Tremaine House in California (1948), this streamlined dining chair is the epitome of early 1950s elegance and “Martini modernism”. The dynamic leading edge of the cushion reflects the angle of the back legs, while the chrome-plated steel backrest flexes gently for extra comfort. Tremaine Chair perfectly complements the Camel Table Steel.
The idea for a multifunctional table was born when Richard J. Neutra watched a camel sitting down. This version of his dual-height design was created for the Logar House in 1951. By swiveling the steel tube legs, it converts in seconds from a sleek coffee table to a full-height dining table. Most of the subsequent clients bought two: one as their regular dining table, the other to extend it when entertaining larger numbers of guests.
This elegant table reprises a typical feature of Richard J. Neutra’s architecture – the overlapping roof elements seen at the Tremaine House and elsewhere. Here, the tabletop appears to drape over the solid wood frame just as a tablecloth might overlap a table. To complete the illusion, high standards of craftsmanship ensure that the oak veneer “flows” over the edges perfectly. Dinette Table has a height of 76 cm, making it ideal for use in combination with Dining Armchair as shown here.
This puristic chair was faithfully reproduced from a sketch by Richard J. Neutra, and is now available for the first time ever. With its compact dimensions and comfortable design, it makes smaller seating areas more spacious and brings solidity and style to larger rooms.
