More Item Details

Did you know? Harry made his own mallets and called them clappers, probably because of his childhood memories of the clapper in the local San Lorenzo chapel bell.

Harry Bertoia Blue Monotype Silk Scarf – $100
100% Silk charmeuse, 16mm
The original art is square, so this is an exact custom printing of the monotype in a slightly larger size. It was created with rollers and blocks on rice paper. Harry, during his life, had talked about having some of his monotypes made into tapestries or some kind of fabric creation. We have brought his dream to life in the form of silk scarves. This is a design from the 1940s.
The medium weight silk is appropriate for any season. Custom printed silk charmeuse 16mm scarf, 36” x 36”, hand rolled hand stitched hem, includes individual plastic bag and tissue paper.

Harry Bertoia Pink Monotype Silk Scarf – $90
100% Silk habotai, 8mm
The original art was created during the Cranbrook era, circa 1940, with rectangular wooden blocks used to press the ink onto the rice paper. Harry had once mentioned transferring his designs to a tapestry or other fabric, so we have brought his dream to life. The monotype for this scarf was lengthened two and a half times. The pink color is very rare and visible only on a handful of the thousands of monotype designs.
This is a lighter weight silk perfect for adding a touch of color. Custom printed silk charmeuse 8mm scarf, 60” x 14”, hand rolled hand stitched hem, includes individual plastic bag and tissue paper.

SALE: Bertoia: The Metal Worker – $60.00
A celebration of the rich and varied work of Italian-born American artist, designer, and master of metal, Harry Bertoia.
From chapel altarpieces and bronze fountains, to wire chairs and silver brooches, Harry Bertoia’s creative output was varied in the extreme. This book explores all aspects of the artist’s incredible creative output, from his jewelry and iconic furniture to his monoprints, architectural sculptures, and “sonambients” – clusters of metal rods that ring with hauntingly beautiful sound. It also includes previously unpublished material of Bertoia and his works.
Bertoia also explores his life story: his move from Italy to Detroit at 15; his formative years at Cranbrook; his work with Charles Eames and Knoll; through to his fascinating sound sculptures. In doing so, the book demonstrates how seemingly disparate works are in fact united in being reflections of nature, and places Bertoia’s art squarely at the heart of American modernism.
