Furniture Designer |
Inspired from
the Wire Chair by Harry Bertoia 1915
- 1978 |
Designs inspired from an intense and
lifelong awareness and study of nature.
Best known for his sculpture, his furniture
design reflects this as his chairs are
sculptural in appearance.
He opened his own metal workshop in
1939. He taught jewelry design and metal
work. Later, as the war effort made
metal a rare and very expensive commodity
he began to design jewelry, he even
designing and creating a wedding ring
for Charles and Ray Eames . Later in
1943, he was to work with Charles and
Ray for the Evans Product Company, experimenting
and moulding plywood seating.
In 1950, Harry Bertoia established
a studio in Pennsylvania where he designed
his famous 'Diamond chair' a fluid,
sculptural form made from a moulded
lattice work of welded steel. He became
immediatly successful and in the mid-50's
the royalties he received for these
chairs allowed him to become a full
time sculptor.. |
