A grid of industrial-strength steel rods forms the back and seat of this iconic counter-height stool, launched by Harry Bertoia as part of his 1952 Seating Collection. An optional seat pad can snap in or out of place. The piece is manufactured solely by Knoll.

Available in more than 100 Knoll fabrics and leathers

KnollTextile's Nova fabric debuted in 1969, and the patterned drapery print by German designer Wolf Bauer was recently reintroduced as part of the popular Archival Collection. Comes available in the bright blue/plum colorway pictured, or a rich orange/berry combo.

Designed in the 1960s, this iconic piece features vertical steel wire rods welded to circular horizontal and edge-framing rods. Available in a variety of sizes.

Pros
With six base colors and more than 80 different Knoll fabrics for the cushion, this baby is almost endlessly customizable. Super-comfortable, thanks to the padded seat and gently curved back. It’s also available without the seat pad.

Cons
The seat pad isn’t removable or retrofittable, so pick your pattern wisely: There’s no changing it out when you get bored—or tipsy with your red wine.

This chair was initially released in 1948 with the catchy title No. 70 and later became known as the Womb chair thanks to its inviting embrace. A padded and upholstered fiberglass shell sits on a polished chrome steel frame. Covering options vary.
