Bertoia famously described his wire chairs as being “made mostly of air” — and this piece captures that idea perfectly.

This original vintage example from the 1970s produced by Knoll features a black finish and the small Diamond Chair format, prized for its refined proportions. Offered without cushion, the chair reveals the purity of Bertoia’s original design intent.

The chair is in very good vintage condition, with a well-preserved structure and finish, showing light signs of age consistent with careful use.

A timeless design classic that brings quiet character and architectural elegance to any interior. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
