- Bertoia Diamond Chair and Ottoman, 1952 - Italian-born designer, painter, and sculptor Harry Bertoia's fascination with metalcrafts touched all areas of his work, from jewelry to furniture. Inspired by a household wire dish rack, he designed his steel chairs as functional sculpture--comfortable, but also "studies in space, form, and metal." And studies in unity too: this chair's diamond-shaped silhouette repeats the basic welded mesh pattern.
