An iconic original Knoll Diamond Chair designed by legendary modernist Harry Bertoia, featuring its original olive green leather upholstered pad and black wire steel frame. A true mid-century modern design classic, this sculptural lounge chair seamlessly blends industrial form with organic comfort.
Originally introduced in the 1950s, the Diamond Chair remains one of the most celebrated silhouettes in modern furniture history and is included in museum collections worldwide. This example retains its original Knoll tags and upholstery markings, adding strong collector appeal and authenticity.
The olive leather upholstery has developed a beautifully aged vintage patina that complements the matte black wire frame exceptionally well. The geometric welded steel construction creates a striking airy profile while remaining surprisingly comfortable and supportive.
An exceptional statement piece for modern, MCM, minimalist, industrial, or designer interiors.
