Set of Diamond Chairs by Harry Bertoia for Knoll, 1950s

$1,950.00

The Harry Bertoia Diamond Chair for Knoll, a true icon of 20th century design. Bertoia abandoned the rigid wood typically used for seating and invented a grid of welded metal wires, creating something described as made of air, like a sculpture crossed by space. Designed in 1952, it embraced industrial wire mesh in a way that felt at once strong and delicate.

This example features a silver steel wireframe with bold yellow cushions that pop and light up the room with color. The royalties from this chair were so significant that Bertoia was able to step away from furniture design entirely and focus on his true passion: sculpture. So yes, you'd be sitting in a chair that literally funded a legendary art career. Not a bad conversation starter.

Sold as a pair.
