Heller Furniture is an in-house manufacturer based in Westport, Connecticut, specializing in industrially produced, molded plastic furniture for indoor and outdoor use. Founded in 1971 by Alan Heller, the brand built its reputation on accessible, museum-quality modern design. The company launched with the iconic Hellerware stackable dinnerware designed by Massimo and Lella Vignelli, which remains in permanent museum collections worldwide.

The company collaborates with famous architects and designers to create its sculptural pieces. You will find undulating cubes and benches from Frank Gehry alongside the Compasso d'Oro-winning Bellini Chair by Mario Bellini. Because Heller focuses exclusively on molded polymers, you will not find traditional leather or fabric upholstery here. The catalog is full of bold shapes.

All Heller products are manufactured entirely in the United States. The brand operates a closed-circle recycling program and ensures its plastic furniture is fully recyclable. Pricing for its signature seating includes the Mario Bellini MB 2 Sofa at $1,650 and the Gehry Sofa at $2,000.
