Iconic House Numbers

Announce your address and your appreciation for modernist design with these Neutra-inspired numerals.

By Rob Wotzak

The font aficionados at House Industries took the same level of care and attention to detail that architect Richard Neutra famously put into his own work when they introduced these bold aluminum house numbers that bear his name. Based on typefaces Neutra used himself, the raised letters are easy to read from a distance, and when showered with sunlight, the numbers cast strong shadows that highlight their purposefully drawn lines. House Industries sells the numbers through the trusty source for modern classics, Design Within Reach.

  • 4-in. or 6-in. high
