The black and white Bertoia Diamond Chair produced by Knoll is a design by Harry Bertoia in 1952.
In Bertoia's own words: “When you look at these chairs, they seem mainly made of air.

These Knoll side chairs are in very good and exceptionally beautiful condition.

The color palette of these Bertoias creates a fresh and airy atmosphere in every interior.

Bertoia left Italy at the age of 15 and studied painting and sculpture in Detroit. In 1937 he became a teacher at the Detroit School of Arts and Crafts and at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. In the 1940s he started experimenting with metal to design furniture.

His most famous designs consist of 'metal wire' and are a logical consequence of his activities as a sculptor. Bertoia jokingly remarked of his own furniture that 'the space passed right through them' and 'it's as if they were made out of air'. Nevertheless, his sculptural designs are a model of comfort and functionality.
