Bertoia, Harry

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Bertoia, Harry (1915-1978)

Italian-born sculptor and designer. Bertoia emigrated to the USA in 1930. He worked for the Evans Products Company, Venice, California in the 1940s before establishing his own workshop. Although he regarded himself as primarily a sculptor, he was known for his early cubist-influenced silver coffee and tea services, and for his furniture, especially the Bertoia chair (1952), with its slender metal legs and frame and mesh-like seat.
