True taste and design is all in the details. It's the small things that come together to create the big picture, and these
Richard Neutra inspired
house numbers could be the final touch you've been looking for to make your home's curb-appeal complete. Based on the letters Neutra specified for his buildings back in the 1930's to 1950's, the numbers weigh 1/2 pound each and are designed to "float" slightly off the surface and cast subtle shadows. Made of stainless steel they're resistant to corrosion, tarnishing and discoloration, and are always easily visible. Usually $75 each, but currently on sale for
$67.50.

Seems to me that there is an advantage in having a short house number. Our's is two digits -- I feel sorry for those with a five or six digit house number!

Rich, please tell us WHERE in Home Depot or Lowe's you saw anything remotely resembling the Neutra numerals, in design, shape or technology! Give us specifics, guy! There is NOTHING available in the big box store systems that could compare to any aspect of the Neutra numerals. People who appreciate mid-century modern design are hard-pressed to find items that appeal to their esthetics at semi-moderate prices. It's a shame that fine design can only be afforded by the uber rich in our culture; its sadly ironic because that is the very concept the mid-century modern designers were trying to oppose by applying mass-production techniques to their designs!

Home Depot in Tulsa - sorry, don't know which one I was at - sells very similar numbers for $6.95 each, in three finishes (black, polished aluminum and a dark copper-ish finish). Unfortunately, brushed chrome was not one of the choices. But design is extremely similar to Neutra.
