Executive in style, casual in comfort these are appropriate for office or lounge or even dining. The multi toned textile pattern ‘houndstooth’ makes an interesting color addition to a room; is it blue or is it brown?
This sculptural design of Eero Saarinen’s Executive Armchair (1950) began much earlier, when along with Charles Eames, he submitted several designs to the Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition at the MoMA influencing the future work of both men
Design Eero Saarinen, 1957
Tubular steel legs, polyurethane shell, upholstery
Made in USA by Knoll
In his groundbreaking collection of 1957, Eero Saarinen transformed executive seating into a fluid, sculptural form. Recognizing the importance of user comfort, Saarinen became the first to construct a chair shell from fiberglass, a pliable material that flexes in response to body weight. The chair is available with and without arms, and features metal or wood legs, or a swivel base.
Son of the celebrated architect Eliel Saarinen, Eero was classically trained in sculpture and architecture.
