I think this is one of those pieces that would take to spray painting real well so even if you went white (which would be my gut instinct, too) you could go back to black somewhat easily.

I agree! At least live with it for awhile after the corner is complete. I think the black will look amazing in a corner filled with books.

At least don’t paint it white, you would loose all of the geometric contrast as it would blend with your white wall. The black is awesome. Great score.

You’ve convinced me, black it is. I’ll at least live with it for a long while before I consider the white again. You guys rule for letting me know what you think! I was honestly going back in forth – I’ll at least keep it black until next spray painting season comes around ;)

Super comfy actually – I have the regular Bertoia non-arm chair too, and it is not as comfy as this. If you lean back in this it hugs your bod in all the right spots.

Ha! Your white chair is what makes me want a white chair. We should just trade ;) There is a very small amount of rust, I haven’t even cleaned this one up yet, so I think by the time it’s all said and done the rust will be barely noticeable. This one is in pretty great condition paint wise for being so old. I think you guys have convinced me to leave it for now.

Oh man, diss. That’s harsh. This is the exact environment I got these from. The guy found him in his old farm house and was using them as porch chairs. Thankfully he had a few to choose from, and I of course picked the one with the least amount of rust and broken welds.

I just searched for ‘Bertoia’, but I looked all around the state within 100 miles of where I live. I found it about 40 minutes from here. I didn’t get it for a major steal or anything, but I talked the guy down 75 bucks and got it for $275, I felt okay about that. There hadn’t been much of anything to show up over the last few months and I didn’t want to risk losing it.

Yes! I made it for dinner last night! Even better the second time around. I love this soup.

Especially in a white room. I have a few bertoias and I always want to spray paint them black, haha. Let’s trade!

But if you want white, just do it! Spray paint does well on these. Not worth powder coating in my opinion, but I’ve seen it done and it IS beautiful. It looks like there are a few rusty bits maybe anyway (?) so don’t sweat it. It’s your chair!

And as others have suggested, I would wait to complete the room before deciding on a color change for the chair. Oh and my neighbors have four of these babies sitting in their backyard, unused and slowly rusting. I’ve told them several times they are original Bertoia! Kills me every time I look into their yard. Now I need to muster up the courage to ask if they’d be willing to sell them to me!! Or at least let me put a tarp over them…

I think it looks perfect black, and agree with others that it would blend into the walls too much if it were white. If the contrast is too much for you, perhaps a bigger white throw or cushion could help tone it down a bit.
