bertoia small diamond chair two tone with seat cushion
Design Harry Bertoia, 1952
Welded steel rods, upholstery

Harry Bertoia's 1950 experiment with bending metal rods into practical art produced a revered collection of seating, including the exquisite Diamond chair. Innovative, comfortable and strikingly handsome, the chair's delicate appearance belies its strength and durability. In Bertoia's own words, "If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them."
A classic, modern design that enhances any environment, Bertoia's Diamond chair remains a fascinating study in bent metal and a fixture of mid-century design. Knoll is the only authorized and licensed manufacturer of the Bertoia Collection which has been in continuous production since 1952.

Please note: Two-Tone Diamond chairs are not approved for outdoor use. Screws that attach the base to the basket are not painted to match the basket finish. Includes 4 plastic floor glides.

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.
