Bertoia Bar Stool
Product Details
Italian sculptor, university lecturer and furniture designer Harry Bertoia displayed a unique stroke of genius with his patented Diamond Chair for Knoll International in 1952. Bertoia was an
inventor of form and an enricher of furniture design with his introduction of a new material: he turned industrial wire rods into a design icon. Educated at Detroit Technical High School, the
Detroit School of Arts and Crafts and Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Bertoia taught metal crafts at Cranbrook. He worked with Charles Eames to develop his signature moulded
plywood chairs. Eero Saarinen commissioned him to design a metal sculptured screen for the General Motors Technical Center in Detroit. His awards include the craftsmanship medal from the American
Institute of Architects, as well as AIA's Gold Medal.
Height: 1040mm Seat height: 740mm x Width: 540mm x Depth: 580mm
Harry Bertoia's 1952 experiment bending metal rods into practical art produced a revered collection of seating, including this barstool.
