I couldn't be of much help because he wasn't ready for help at that time. He hadn't gotten to the point where he knew what he was doing yet. He was a wizard at working with metal and I learned those techniques. Harry was a very unique person because he was basically a sculptor who had gone to school with Florence Knoll at Cranbrook and had worked with Charles Eames. Hans and Shu gave him carte blanche and he started working with wire and invented a whole collection of wire furniture, which I was lucky enough to be involved in from the beginning. Harry did not have directions from Knoll. They didn't tell him, “we need a chair made out of wire.” It was his inner direction that produced those chairs. Harry worked constantly. He produced furniture and a whole showroom full of sculpture. It was pretty impressive. Working with Harry was intimidating in some ways. I didn't have much self-confidence about designing my own furniture after that. His furniture was so impressive, such a huge creative act, so different than anything that had been seen before or since. I have always been interested in reading the biographies of scientists and artists to learn how they have achieved what they did. With Harry I was right there watching him. 11

Florence Knoll moved to Florida and took Bertoia chairs and put them in front of the ocean and they rusted badly. She said, “You have to make some decent outdoor furniture, something that is made out of materials that won't rust and corrode.” That appealed to me, and I started working. I experimented with button connectors for the slings, padded slings and plastic beading around the tabletops. Ultimately I devised concealed connections, which made the chairs more elegant. In April 1963 Florence Knoll approved the outdoor program. I had to develop all the patterns for all the cast parts. It took me a long time to develop the collection, as there wasn't a whole team of people to help me. Details were carefully considered. Attention to detail is expensive. We spent so much time refining it. That's why the furniture still looks fresh. In March 1966 the furniture was introduced. The furniture didn't have extraneous curves. Most outdoor furniture those days was designed to look as if it was designed before the French Revolution, with stamped out metal, bunches of flowers and leaves; it was very much period looking furniture. This was the first outdoor furniture that enthusiasts of modern design could say, “This is a breath of fresh air.” “God is in the details.” – Mies van der Rohe 12
