The sculptor and designer Harry Bertoia designed this exceptional bench for Knoll with his signature bent metal rods in polished in chrome or bonded rilsan. The elegant bench uses black or white painted wood slats that are pre-treated to prevent warping. The firm foam cushions can be upholstered in a variety of KnollTextiles or Spinneybeck leather for extra comfort. This classic design has won numerous awards including a Certificate of Merit and the Design Center Stuttgart Award since its release in 1952.
