{"product_id":"bird-chair-and-ottoman-by-harry-bertoia","title":"Bird chair and ottoman","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1915 in San Lorenzo, Friuli, Harry Bertoia emigrated to the United States as a teenager and trained at Cranbrook Academy of Art. There he taught metalwork, met Florence Knoll and worked with Charles Eames. He joined Knoll in 1950 with full freedom to experiment. His research into welded steel rod produced the 1952 wire collection, a landmark of mid-century modern design that has remained in continuous production since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bird Chair is the most sculptural piece in that series. Its high back and wide wings open around the sitter, holding a padded, upholstered cushion. The matching ottoman completes the set. Bertoia considered his chairs studies in space, form and metal, and here industrial material becomes something closer to sculpture. This Bird Chair \u0026amp; Ottoman by Harry Bertoia for Knoll is an enduring icon of American modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boketto Paris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57731999007093,"sku":null,"price":1.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/0738\/7765\/files\/1_59b7368c-7bdc-43f3-ab11-934bfd07d250.png?v=1794050860","url":"https:\/\/galerieboketto.com\/products\/bird-chair-and-ottoman-by-harry-bertoia","provider":"Boketto ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
