About the Item

The Black Chair Mod. 420 by Harry Bertoia for Knoll, designed in 1953 in the USA, is a sculptural exploration of metal and form that exemplifies Bertoia’s mastery in merging art with function. Crafted from welded steel rods, the chair transforms industrial material into a fluid, airy structure, balancing strength with transparency. Its iconic wire grid design reflects Bertoia’s background as a sculptor, where negative space becomes as integral as the lines themselves. Produced by Knoll, the piece stands as part of Bertoia’s celebrated wire collection, representing a postwar optimism and the mid-century drive to innovate through material experimentation. The Mod. 420 remains an enduring symbol of elegance, lightness, and modern American design.
