Harry Bertoia
In addition to designing furniture, Bertoia was an artist and sculptor. At age 15 he moved to Detroit from Italy and began studying art and design. In 1938 he joined the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts. The following year he received a scholarship to study at Cranbrook. He opened a metal workshop and taught jewelry design and metal work, focusing mostly on jewelry as WW2 made metal a rare commodity.
Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that modern furniture should complement architectural space and not compete with it. At Knoll modern design has been a passion that has resulted in ground breaking modern furniture.
