Bertoia at 100 – From Ari to Arieto to Harry

The late industrial designer and sculptor Harry Bertoia was the ultimate creative polymath, the quintessential designer-craftsman, a complete and gifted artist.

He made a reputation for himself in every field he entered. He was an innovator, he was passionate about his work, he was modest, and above all he was generous.

Harry Bertoia embodied all that is praiseworthy in an artist. ” Art was his sole focus and mission in life.
