\"The
\nKnown worldwide for his groundbreaking furniture designs for Knoll, Bertoia was primarily a sculptor. Immensely prolific, he is estimated to have created tens of thousands of sculptures over the course of his life, taking the form of screens, panels, mobiles and free-standing sculptures. Among the latter were his Sonambient works, designed to produce unusual sonic experiences at the touch of a hand or the sway of a breeze.<\/p>\n

\"The\"\"
\n<\/a>Bertoia\u2019s Sonambient sculptures also give the inspiration for the release of the Bertoia Diamond Chair in gold. Knoll Design Director Benjamin Pardo explains the choice through a description of Bertoia\u2019s material preferences. \u201cHarry\u2019s own work was mostly done in beryllium,<\/em>\u201d Pardo states, \u201cincluding many of his Sonambient sculptures.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\"The
\nBeryllium is a copper alloy traditionally used to create non-sparking tools for working with a live current. A metalworker, Bertoia became interested in the material for its relatively low density and high elasticity \u2014 50% more elastic than steel \u2014 which resulted in unusually fast sound conduction and a consistent tone and timbre. The alloy was well suited for Bertoia\u2019s formal experiments, through which he strove to emulate shapes and sounds of the natural world.<\/p>\n

\"The
\nThe parallels between Bertoia\u2019s furniture and sculptures go further than material alone. Bertoia saw his furniture as an extension of the principles and considerations of his sculptural work: \u201cIn sculpture, I am concerned primarily with space, form and the characteristics of metal. In the chairs, many functional challenges have to be solved first [\u2026] but when you get right down to it, the chairs are studies in space, form and metal, too.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\"The
\nIn celebration of the 50th anniversary of the\u00a0Platner Collection, Knoll is proud to announce Platner Gold, an 18k gold-plated finish option.\u00a0The finish, plated in Italy, is available for the Platner Lounge Chair, Platner Arm Chair, Platner Stool, Platner Dining Table, Platner Coffee Table and Platner Side Table.<\/p>\n
