Muse of the Month- Bertoia

 

 

Hello! Welcome to the first blog post of Thoughts & Musings! Our muse of the month is Harry Bertoia. This Italian born-American artist created numerous outstanding designs from sculptures to jewelry and furniture. One design that always catches my eye is the originally released in 1952, Bertoia chair. It's timeless features are truly a work of art and have stood the test of time!

Bertoia has produced beautiful work, but we have one design in particular that we are wanting to shine in the spotlight- the Bertoia Side Chair in Limited Edition Pink! 

Why pink? Knoll chose this beautiful, bright and bold pink finish for the special edition Bertoia Side Chair in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

If you are interested in owning this limited edition beauty, please contact us at info@studioei.com

In sculpture, I am concerned primarily with space, form and the characteristics of metal. In the chairs many funtional problems have to be satisified first...but when you get right down to it, the chairs are studies in space, form and metal, too.
