Goldberg began designing furniture in 1935. He worked independently, creating designs for individual clients. Goldberg designed two pieces of furniture for a Bauhaus exhibit at the 1937 World's Fair in San Francisco. Some of his designs were fabricated by the American Novelty Furniture Company (he later went on to design a factory expansion for the company). Goldberg also designed furniture and built-in elements for many of his residential designs such as the Florsheim Residence, Helstein House, Snyder House, and Standard Houses.

"To begin with, if you go back to the Bauhaus period of Germany the role of the architect was supposed to be that of designing everything for the society, pots, pans, automobiles, clothes, dance, furniture—also buildings."
