The Executive Chair is an absolute classic of Mid-Century Modern design and was designed in 1946 by the Finnish-American architect and designer Eero Saarinen. These chairs were manufactured by Knoll, European production. Saarinen's organic design language and his commitment to comfort and functionality make this model one of the most important designs of the 20th century.
This set of six is from an early production run. Two of the chairs are a slightly more compact version – a difference that is hardly noticeable visually, but makes the set all the more versatile.
The ergonomically shaped seat shells are made of robust plastic and padded with new foam. The high-quality covers are from the Danish premium manufacturer Kvadrat / Sahco and, with their contemporary bouclé fabric, lend the ensemble an elegant, modern touch.
The chairs rest on sturdy chrome-plated tubular steel frames, which are in beautiful, age-appropriate condition. Some light rust is visible. Two of the chairs still bear the original Knoll sticker – a rare detail that underscores their authenticity.
An exceptional vintage set that combines comfort, design history, and timeless aesthetics – ideal for dining areas, conference rooms, or stylish lounges.

The Executive Chair is a true icon of Mid-Century Modern design, created in 1946 by Eero Saarinen, the renowned Finnish-American architect and designer. These chairs were produced by Knoll (European production) and are celebrated for their elegant, sculptural lines and superb craftsmanship.
