Harry Bertoia (March 10, 1915 in San Lorenzo, Pordenone, Italy – November 6, 1978 in Barto, Pennsylvania), was an Italian-born American artist, sound art sculptor, and modern furniture designer.
I appreciate a slight yield, lightness of weight, some motion if possible, because in moving about, the human body determines. . . the comfort and the measurements of its environment. . . the human measure is still the strongest factor. But coming back to the chair, there are certain motions we go through - we like to lean back, like to toss things - and if the chair's adaptable it responds and it's almost like wearing a comfortable coat; you really don't know you have it on.
The urge for good design is the same as the urge to go on living.
