Tonal III Bertoia Sound Sculpture

Italian artist, sculptor, and furniture designer Harry Bertoia had a revelation in the 50s. By stretching, bending, and moving metal, his sculptures could create sound. He called them Sonambient and over the next decade he created thousands, each one unique. They are absolutely iconic design pieces, sculptures and functional instruments. We routinely see prized examples go for over 25k in auctions.

Imagine our extraordinary delight when half a century later, the Harry Bertoia Foundation recreated Bertoia’s sonambient Table Tonal III sculpture, the smallest he ever made, as just about the most interesting desk accessory imaginable. We don't have one (yet), but often day dream of procrastinating by playing with our beautiful, tiny music sculpture.
