The Step Art Deco bench sofa
3 Seater: £3,950.00
The Step is an American Modern Art Deco bench sofa, heavily based on designs by the German-born Karl Emanuel Martin (Kem) Weber. Weber was a key influencer in the American Modern Art Deco sphere in the 1930s and is perhaps best remembered for his work in the 'Streamline Moderne' style through which he created many iconic designs.
Our models featuring wooden trims and accents are crafted with high-quality veneers, meticulously fitted by the same artisans who restore vintage car paneling for prestigious brands like Rolls-Royce and Jaguar, ensuring unparalleled quality, sustainability, and refined finishes in a curated selection of Mahogany, Elm, and Walnut Burr.

I hunted for my ideal art deco furniture for a while when I saw the sofa on the website Sam was very helpful allowing me to - via zoom - look at them against an adult for size. This resulted in me choosing two 3 seater (2 cushion) sofas and two armchairs . Choosing the fabric brought it even more to life for me going for a contrast piping for the sofas as well as for the chairs tying them all together. I am delighted with my purchases and so are my visitors. Don’t get me wrong these are big pieces of furniture to navigate into your home. Thankfully I have two sets of double doors allowing them to come into the house. Hope you agree with my colour choice. I love them - thank you Sam
It’s all come together nicely, thank you for your expertise we love our art deco sofas! They are so beautiful. From start to finish your company did a sterling job. Sam was so helpful and lovely do do business with. We would highly recommend the quality and service to anyone who enjoys interior design as we do.
Dear Sam - there are FIVE BEAUTIFUL bar stools at our house in Henley.NOT ONLY are they BEAUTIFUL but they are also COMFORTABLE and THEY LOOK FABULOUS !!
THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU and the TS Queen Mary ship's wheel table is gracing the kitchen!
Delighted with product……..meets all expectations.
Sam was great with assistance and advice.
(Only minus was that delivery man did not expect to bolt sides of sofa to main body. After making a phone call he carried out the operation safely and cleanly……..not a difficult task.)
Fabulous service from Sam. Kept fully up to speed re. Completion and delivery. Very very pleased when they arrived. Had them a little while now and they are comfortable and very smart.
Recommend them completely.
This is my second sofa from this company and I have to say, I love it. It is so well made and the leather is beautiful. Sam fine honed the measurements to suit me and also changed the seat cushions to my choice of fabric as opposed to leather. His communication was excellent as always. If you purchase from this company, you can't go wrong. 10 out of 10.
We love our new sofa. It's just what we wanted.
I am absolutely delighted with my Gatsby sofas from Neumann & Bright.
Finished in Majolica Blue leather they look stunning, and are extremely comfortable.
The whole process of ordering was really easy and straightforward with expert friendly advice from Sam.
Communication was brilliant from the start and nothing seemed too much trouble for Sam.
I live on the top floor so ordered removable arms which made the delivery process so much easier.
The sofas are very well made with beautiful quality leather, and unlike the usual mass-produced offerings will last for years to come.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Neumann & Bright for their excellent quality and service.
The design, quality and service were beyond our expectations, fantastic product makes the living room complete.
Really good communication from the start. We were able to talk through colour options, order swatches and get absolute measurements for two sofas. We are delighted with the result - two fabulous Art Deco sofas which are stylish, comfortable and really have that wow factor!
Lovely sofa , just what we wanted. Everything exactly as promised.
We've just taken delivery of two Old English Olive Chesterfields, made by Newman and Bright. We are extremely happy with these two pieces of furniture. The whole experience from ordering to delivery was excellent, considering the circumstances we all find ourselves in at the present time. We highly recommend this company for quality and attention to detail regarding the products.
