Best known as a sculptor and modern furniture designer, Harry Bertoia was born in San Lorenzo, Udine, Italy. In 1928 he began taking drawing classes in Italy before immigrating first to Canada, then to Detroit in 1930. He received a scholarship to the School of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts in 1936 and a year later was awarded a teaching scholarship at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. There he taught metalworking from 1937 to 1942 and then graphics for one year.In 1943 Bertoia moved to Los Angeles to work as a furniture designer. His employer, Knoll Associates, introduced the Bertoia Collection of furniture in 1952. During this period he designed five wire pieces that became known as the Bertoia Collection for Knoll. Among them the famous Diamond chair fluid, sculptural form made from a molded lattice work of welded steel.The following year he received his first commission for a large-scale sculpture for the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. His distinguished work brought him other major commissions for the Massachussetts Institute of Technology Chapel, Lambert Airport in St. Louis, Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., and the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond, Virginia. Beginning in the 1940s, Bertoia exhibited extensively. Among his many awards were the Gold Medal given by the Architectural League of New York (1955-56), the Fine Arts Medal from the Pennsylvania Association of the American Institute of Architects (1963), and an honorary doctorate from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
