The Bertoia diamond chair, another offering from the line of wire mesh furniture Harry Bertoia created for Knoll, is the Bertoia side chair's loungey cousin. Its namesake diamond form and wire mesh construction make it one of the most recognizable of midcentury designs.

The chair's popularity isn't hard to understand; it's beautiful, comfortable, and works indoors and out, in pretty much any kind of space.

These chairs can be a bit pricey — the 'small' size (the one you see in most interiors) will set you back $900, and that's without a cover — and on sale. Fortunately, vintage ones are pretty easy to come by on Ebay, especially if you don't mind rehabbing a bit.
