“Mostly made of air,” was Bertoia’s apt description of his work, and his exploration of bending metal rods into practical art resulted in a collection of formed wire chairs that have become icons of mid-century modern design. Bertoia’s Diamond, Bird, side chair, barstool, bench and the Asymmetric Chaise, which until recently had not been manufactured beyond the prototypical phase, are studies in space, form and function. Their airy, filigree appearance belies their strength and durability.

The Bertoia collection reflects the KnollStudio® commitment to timeless, enduring design, continuing the Knoll legacy of producing furniture to the exacting standards of the designer and affirming our unwavering belief in the power and utility of modern design.
