We all know about the Kauffman desert house (designed by Richard Neutra in 1946) but can anybody tell me what furnishings featured within and outside the home?

Inside
I believe the past owners researched and restored the interior as close to the original as possible. Looking at photos of the house in "MidCentury Modern" shows some of the interior furnishings:
Lots of Eames DCMs - at the built in desks, and also at the dining table. An Eames dimple coffee table in the living room near a lounge I dont recognize. A Matthson lounge chair in the bedroom. An Aalto stool in the bathroom. Tons of built ins and custom pieces throughout the house- built in sofa, coffee table, desks, cabinets, bookshelves.

the loungers and chairs outside were / are van keppel (i have a picture form the 60's and these have been replaced with wire furniture)
there is a loewy rug (who had the neighbouring house) plus a couple of nelson benches dotted about also
we were up in the las palmas / little tuscany area last week there are some amazing houses up there definitely worth a look if you are visiting palm springs

Can you still buy Van Keppel sun loungers
I've googled Van Keppel but can't find a listing. Has the company gone out of business?

Barry Manilow owned this house at one time...few pics show the rather bizzare/ oddly overdone piles of boulders at the house...
