Harry Bertoia

The Italian-American artist and designer Harry Bertoia (1915-1978) emigrated to the USA as a teenager, studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and met Charles Eames there, with whom he initially worked on techniques for moulding plywood. At the invitation of Florence and Hans Knoll he set up his own metal workshop and in 1952 created the Bertoia Collection, seating made of bent, welded steel wire, including the Diamond Chair, which is still produced today. From the late 1950s Bertoia devoted himself increasingly to free sculpture and sounding metal sculptures (Sonambient).
