Description

After teaching jewelry and metal work Bertoia joined forces with Charles and Ray Eames for the Evans Product Company and experimented with molded-plywood seating. In 1950, he established a studio in Pennsylvania and introduced his famous "Wire Chair", made of welded steel lattice work. We find that once people see it, they want to try it out. The Harry Bertoia Wire Chair functions perfectly as a dining or kitchen furniture.
The chair is manufactured according to the original design specifications. The highly polished 305 stainless steel frame has minimum flexibility and is of excellent quality.
Quality built for a lifetime of use!

Harry Bertoia (1915-1978), Italian sculptor, university lecturer and furniture designer who emigrated to America in 1930. He studied at the Cass Technical High School in Detroit and graduated from with a schoolarship at the Cranbook Academy of Art, Michigan. In 1939-1943 he led a workshop for metal processing and taugh jewel- and metal-urgy in the same contect. In 1943 he worked together with Charles and Ray Eames at the Evans Product company where they experimented for the first time with curved wooden plates as seat faces. In 1950 he succeeded to establish his own studio in Pennsylvania and in 1952 he presented his Diamond Lounge Chair for the first time for Knoll international. Bertoia was a pioneer and inspiring with the invention of new forms, he enriched the history of styles with signigicant infulucences in the area of material and it was him, who etablished wire mesh as an design icon. Success was not long in coming the residual that he earned alone in the middle of the 50's allowed him to concentrate completely on its activity as sculptor.
