An idea that remained on paper from 1929 until just recently. Fortunately for lovers of great design, this beautiful chair is now available with a flowing steel frame, as originally envisaged. Reminiscent of Bauhaus furniture, however the organic solid oak armrests lend it a comfort and solidity all of its own.

An ottoman complements the chair perfectly.

Richard J. Neutra

1892-1970

Richard Joseph Neutra was born Vienna, Austria. He attended the Sophiengymnasium in Vienna until 1910, then studied at the Vienna University of Technology and the private architecture school of Adolf Loos. Neutra moved to the United States by 1923 worked briefly for Frank Lloyd Wright and Rudolf Schindler and Carol Aronovici before starting his own practice where he went on to design numerous buildings in the International Style, 12 of which are designated as Historic Cultural Monuments, including the Lovell Health House and the Richard and Dion Neutra VDL Research House. In 1932, Neutra was included in the MoMA exhibition on modern architecture.

In 1965 Neutra formed a partnership with his architect son Dion Neutra. Together, they exerted their influence upon the built environment and visual aesthetics of Los Angeles for nearly a century.
