Overall view without seat pad; The chair is composed of a steel tubing base with welded steel mesh, the entire chair is coated with Rilsan, a heat-fused plastic finish. A removable pad was designed to slip onto the corner of the seat. It is still manufactured by Knoll. Bertoia was also a painter and sculptor, and his furniture is certainly sculptural.
