Knoll - Bertoia Plastic chair

Bertoia chair with plastic shell

The Italian designer Harry Bertoia designed an entire series of seating furniture, recliners and stools for Hans and Florence Knoll in the early 1950s. These included the plastic chair from the Bertoia series, which has been available again since 2015 to mark the 100th anniversary of the designer's birth.

Plastic chair with steel base

The plastic chair is a variation on the Bertoia wire frame family, all of which are hand-drawn and hand-welded in a highly complex process. The Bertoia plastic chair consists of a plastic seat shell in various colors and a welded steel profile, which is available chromed or, on request, with a white or black paint finish.

The delicate appearance of the chair belies the strength and durability of the construction and is also surprisingly comfortable. With the optional seat cushion, the comfort of the Knoll chair can be increased even further.

Bertoia -Design classics

Today, the Bertoia chairs are represented in many collections of well-known design museums. They have a classic, modern design that enhances any environment. The delicate design language of the collection is more reminiscent of a sculpture than a classic piece of seating furniture, yet the chairs, armchairs and stools are extremely comfortable and meet all the practical requirements of seating furniture.
