Description

This is a classic 2021 production Harry Bertoia for Knoll Counter Stool, Model 426C, originally designed in 1952. The piece is fabricated of a welded steel basket seat that is coated in white Rilsan and retains its original fully-upholstered seat cover in what appears to be Hourglass upholstery (color is Air). The stool came directly from a Knoll employee. It has never been used in a home or office setting. It may show minuscule wear from transportation to our warehouse.

This listing is for one counter stool along with the white cover as shown. The stool measures 22 inches deep, 21.75 inches wide and 38.5 inches tall. The seat height is 25 inches. This piece is appropriate for use with surfaces that are 36-39" high.

It’s interesting to note that the Rilsan powder which is used to coat the steel frames is derived entirely from castor beans, and is therefore considered a ‘green’ material. It was developed in Italy in the early ‘40s, and is still the most common finish found on Bertoia chairs today.

What should I expect when ordering an item with lead time?

Estimated lead times are shown under "Delivery", above. Read our shipping policy to learn more.

Lead times are estimated based on previous production times from our manufacturing partners, but lead times can change depending on availability and circumstances outside of Rarify's control.

For example: if purchasing an imported or made-to-order product, international shipping and import times depend on many factors. This includes US customs operations, global trade circumstances, and production facilities in other countries.

We will try to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. Our international freight forwarding partners help to take burden off of you during the process of importing; we appreciate your patience while your order is fulfilled.

Purchasing made-to-order is one of the most responsible ways to purchase, as it helps prevent furniture waste on our planet.

Vintage items are typically in-stock in the USA and ready to ship once purchased.

Do you deliver to NYC?

Yes, in-stock items can often be delivered to NYC quickly by our skilled couriers. Pieces are delivered by hand to your residence. This typically takes 1-2 weeks for items stocked at our warehouse in PA.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
