Pair of Diamond Lounge Chairs

Based on his experience as head of the Experimental Department at the Eames studio, Harry Bertoia designed the Diamond armchairs for Knoll International in the 1950s.

A single piece of steel rods forms the seat and backrest, joined to a light steel frame that forms the base. The visible structure of the Diamond model suggests that the chairs were objects in space, and as Bertoia said, “space passes through them.”
