Question ID: 202184
I am looking for websites that have photographs of furniture that was
designed by the architects/designer team Robert Ventura/Denise Scott
Brown and by the Italian architect/designer Betoia. Thank you.

Request for Question Clarification by pinkfreud-ga on 10 May 2003 18:25 PDT
I cannot find any information on a designer named Betoia.

Could you mean Harry Bertoia, who designed a famous series of
metalwork chairs in the 1950s?

Regarding "Robert Ventura," is it possible that the name could be "Robert Venturi"?
