The Bertoia slatted bench is an elegant, sleek bench with a combination of a welded metal frame and a seat of solid wood slats. The design demonstrates both functional simplicity and visual lightness: the steel base supports the slats in an almost "floating" manner, typical of Bertoia's early exploration of material and form.
The bench has a low seat height of 39 cm and a relatively wide seat of 47 cm, making it suitable as a sofa, ottoman, or decorative element in a living room, hallway, or outdoor space. It was designed in the early 1950s. According to Knoll, this bench was the first piece of furniture Bertoia designed for the brand and forms a link between his early experiments with materials and his later iconic wire chair designs.
This bench originally had white slats, but was in poor condition. Refurbished to this version. Some scratches to the slats, but in very good condition.
