  • Designed By - Harry Bertoia
  • When - 1952

  • More Info - It is quite a sculptural chair. When talking about his chairs Bertoia said “they are mostly made of air...space passes right through them”. This is what makes this chair so interesting. Bertoia began experimenting with bending metal rods in 1950. This chair has been in continuous production since 1952. There is a vinyl seat cushion that snaps on and a fully upholstered version available. The metal can be finished in polished chrome, satin chrome or white or black polyester coating. There is also a larger model.
