Knoll International Bertoia chair • plastic
The Bertoia plastic chair by Knoll International places a moulded shell onto the wire frame of the Bertoia chair. Alongside the wire chair, a variant with a coloured plastic shell on the wire frame was available from 1960. It was sold in the USA until 1972 and reissued by Knoll decades later. The moulded shell follows the line of the wire basket, is smooth and gives slightly when sat on, which is why it needs no cushion. Bertoia developed the collection in 1952 out of his work as a sculptor; in 1955 he was named Designer of the Year in the USA.
The frame is welded from steel profile; the plastic shell is available in black, medium grey and white. Black plastic glides sit on the base frame, and the "Knoll" logo is embossed into the frame. The sled base is available chrome-plated or lacquered in black or white.
Compared with the wire chair, you sit on a closed, smooth surface that is easy to clean, meaning no cushion is needed. Those who want to stack the chair should choose the stackable version on four legs.
