Knoll Bertoia Chair Poster

Photograph by Don Kennedy, New York, 1980s

Don Kennedy was often called upon for his "use of architecture to convey elegance without becoming trapped in details." Emblematic of such an approach, the series Sun and Shadow situated Harry Bertoia's Diamond Chair in a staged environment that emphasized its air-like qualities. Against the gridded tiling of the pool-like setting, the Diamond Chair appears perforated by pillars of light, giving credence to Bertoia's claim that: "If you look at those chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them."
