Néotù was a contemporary furniture gallery founded in 1984 in Paris. Gérard Dalmon, a computer consultant at :Capgemini|Cap Gemini, and Pierre Staudenmeyer, a marketing consultant, established the Galerie Néotù in 1984 in Paris, France, on the rue de Verneuil, then in 1985 on the rue du Renard. Galerie Néotù sold contemporary furniture and other items by primarily French designers, artists, and architects. The items were produced in limited editions, some unique. The gallery assisted with production and was instrumental in establishing some of the young, essentially unknown French designers of the 1980s and 1990s, who have since become members of the current who's who of French and international design. The enterprise pursued an approach to design, which was in the trend of the time, and focused on designers whose work was known as art furniture. Dalmon and Staudenmeyer's effort can be favorably compared to others active from the mid-1980s, such as Rick Kaufman’s Art et Industrie gallery and Michael Steinberg’s Furniture of the Twentieth Century gallery, both in New York City. In 1990, a branch was established in New York City, and, in 1992, the Galerie Néotù began representing VIA in the U.S. Néotù closed in 2001.
