A study in "space, form, and metal," this conspicuously sculptural side chair by Harry Bertoia for KNOLL INTERNATIONAL is a genuine icon of mid-century America. First designed in 1951, its deceptively delicate appearance (Bertoia described the chair as "mostly air") belies its strength and durability. The chair works beautifully in every room and can complement virtually any décor. The back of the frame bears the authentic KNOLL stamp, and KNOLL is printed on the underside of the seat pad. Famously comfortable.

Two chairs available; offered/priced individually.


HARRY BERTOIA (1915–1978) was an Italian-born American sculptor, printmaker, and jewelry and furniture designer. He was born in the village of San Lorenzo d'Arzene in the province of Pordenone and immigrated to the U.S. at age 15 to live with his brother in Detroit. After high school, he attended the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts, founded in 1906 to promote ideals of beauty and craftsmanship in an industrialized world. In 1937, he received a scholarship to the prestigious Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., where he taught metalworking and graphics, keeping company with such future luminaries as Charles (1907–1978) & Ray (1912–1988) Eames, Eero Saarinen (1915–1978), and Florence Knoll (1917–2019).

In 1946, Bertoia moved to Venice, California, to assist Charles Eames in developing processes for laminating and bending plywood. His contributions to the famous Eames chairs were crucial, although never much advertised. In 1950, Florence Knoll invited Bertoia to join her newly established factory in East Greenville, Penn. Knoll was confident that he would produce something extraordinary if allowed to experiment.

The resulting Bertoia Collection, introduced by KNOLL in 1952, consisted of five light and airy seating elements made from grids of welded steel wire. It is recognized worldwide as one of the outstanding achievements of 20th-century furniture design. (A sixth design, the Asymmetric Lounge, was only realized by KNOLL in 2005.) The chairs were produced with varying degrees of upholstery. Initially made by hand, a suitable mass-production process was hit upon relatively early. The commercial success of the collection was immediate, and it has been in continuous production worldwide since its introduction.

Bertoia ended his relationship with KNOLL in 1953 to concentrate on his true passion: sculpture. His prolific output included over 50 major public works and thousands of smaller pieces. From the late 1960s until his death, Bertoia's exclusive focus was on creating sculptures that produced sound. He created hundreds of such "Sonambient" sculptures—arrays of thin metal rods that chimed when swayed or touched. He recorded their unique musical "songs" and released eleven albums under a dedicated label.

Harry Bertoia died from lung cancer in 1978 at the age of 63, likely caused by inhaling toxic metal fumes during his work. He is buried beneath one of his sculptures, a large gong suspended from a massive tripod.


The urge for good design is the same as the urge to go on living. – HARRY BERTOIA


KNOLL was founded eponymously in 1938 in a small space on East 72nd Street in New York City as the Hans G. Knoll Furniture Company. Hans Knoll (1914–1955) was born in Stuttgart, Germany, into the successful furniture-making family behind Walter Knoll & Co. Early 20th-century Germany was a nexus of modernist design theory, which held that design should be rooted in the principles of rationality, functionalism, and mass production. This was notably expressed in the products and practices of the Deutscher Werkbund, an association of artists and industrialists, and the influential Bauhaus school. This milieu had a lasting influence on Knoll, inspiring him to produce furniture for the new age.

In 1937, after a stint in London, he moved to the U.S., bringing the modernist vision with him. Launched as an import business, the Hans Knoll Furniture Company soon pivoted to manufacturing. Its first plant was opened in a former dance hall in East Greenville, Penn., in 1941, the year that Danish designer Jens Risom (1916–2016) was hired. Risom would help with the development of the first original KNOLL designs. Also in 1941, Hans met Florence Schust (1917–2019) on an interior design project and, recognizing her exceptional taste and eye, hired her to court business with architects and interior designers and, later, to provide in-house planning and interior design expertise for a corporate clientele. In 1946, they were married, and the company became KNOLL ASSOCIATES.

That same year, the Knoll Planning Unit was established to solidify the company's role in the field of interior design. In 1951, the company name was changed to KNOLL INTERNATIONAL, and its German and French subsidiaries were launched, producing designs especially for European markets. In 1955, Hans died in a tragic car crash; his widow remained actively involved in the company until her 1965 retirement ten years later.

KNOLL's signature pieces include Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair (1925), Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona chair (1929/1948), Harry Bertoia's Diamond chair (1952), and Eero Saarinen's Tulip armchair (1957); as well as Florence's own furniture collection, developed through the 1950s. The impressive KNOLL catalog includes a who's who list of midcentury and contemporary design figures. Today, KNOLL is primarily focused on meeting the changing needs of the 21st-century workplace.

Hans Knoll was given the National Design Award for Corporate and Institutional Achievement by NYC's Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in 2011, in recognition of his legacy in American modern design and the emphasis of his work on the connection between design and quality of life. KNOLL pieces can be found in the permanent collections of institutions around the world; New York's MoMA has acquired over thirty.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo
