	Wild About Harry
		Bertoia, notwithstanding his classification of furniture design as a source for food, recognized an essential relationship between his functional designs for Knoll and his sculpture, in which the ethereal element of space was considered the principal medium.
		In fact, 20 years ago she had encountered a Bertoia sounding sculpture for the first time, and says the gut emotion it evoked was the precisely the same feeling that came over her when she experienced her "divine inspiration" two years ago.
		Thorp hopes to convene a symposium, or as she terms it "a Bertoia reunion," in Philadelphia this fall — preferably at the Annenberg Center’s Zellerbach Theatre, the lobby of which is graced with a hanging Bertoia sculpture commissioned in the ’70s.

	Harry Bertoia modern furniture designer biography
		Harry Bertoia (1915-1978) made a foray into furniture design in the 1950s with Knoll Associates that was brief, but so powerful and enduring that the royalties alone from his series allowed him to turn his attention to sculpture for the rest of his life.
		Bertoia remained as part of their staff, working on a variety of projects, until 1946 when he left because, conjecture reports, he felt unduly overshadowed by the Eames and was not receiving any specific credit for his work, a recurring complaint from the busy office during that period.
		The pieces grew out of a sculptural aesthetic, and Bertoia wrote that when looking at the chairs you could see that "space passes through them." Indeed, their frames are so delicate and skeletal that in the Knoll print advertisements it is sometimes hard to see the chair at all.
