by Harry Bertoia

The metal artist Harry Bertoia was a professor at the legendary Cranbrook Academy, where by the end of the 30’s he had befriended Florence Knoll. In the 40’s, together with Charles and Ray Eames, he laid the foundation for modern American design. Without any budget or time limitations imposed on him by Florence and Hans Knoll, Bertoia was able to realize his ideas — and so were born his sculpture — like wire mesh chairs. The asymetrical chair has been in production since 2005 (previously just as a prototype, because the production was deemed too expensive).

Measurements: 115 x 106 x 102 cm

The asymmetrical chair is available at Markanto in the following standard versions (please ask about other materials such as Hallingdal or Divina):
