Diamond Lounge chair Harry Bertoia 1952

Harry Bertoia was at Cranbrook during the period when Charles Eames was head of the Department of Experimental Design.

The wire chairs of Bertoia appeared a year after the wire chair of Charles Eames. Although they are different in form, the basic concept is similar and both make use of the same wire material. This is the bar stool version of the Bertoia's wire chair.

In Bertoia's own words, "If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them."
