S a a r I n E n E x E C u t I v E C h a I r 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 in a range of finishes to complement the Saarinen tables.

E E r o S a a r I n E n Son of the celebrated architect Eliel Saarinen, Eero was classically trained in sculpture and

architecture. his collaboration with Charles Eames in 1937 led to the creation of the organic armchair, made from

plywood and foam rubber, the first three-dimensionally shaped bucket armchair. Saarinen continued to develop

this theme in the years that followed with designs that included the Grasshopper, Womb and tulip chairs, all for Knoll.

among the many buildings for which he is known are Dulles airport in Washington, D.C., and the tWa terminal at

Kennedy International airport in new York.
