“Wire” Chair 420 by Harry Bertoia for Knoll – 1st edition 1953

The “420” chair, designed by Harry Bertoia for Knoll International, is from the very first production run in 1953. An iconic piece of American design, sculptural and airy, it is handcrafted with a lattice of fine welded metal bars. The original, removable cushion provides added comfort while preserving the elegance of the structure. This very first edition bears no markings, as Knoll furniture was signed much later. It is easily identifiable as a first edition thanks to its double welded lattice visible around the perimeter. Completely original and in very good condition, this first edition is extremely rare, especially with its original cushion and fabric. A true collector's item for lovers of design and iconic furniture. I can answer any questions you may have and provide further details.
