The Saarinen Executive arm chair with tubular legs is perhaps the most versatile dining chair known from the Mid-Century Modern design movement. Known for their sleek and comfortable design. Saarinen’s mastery of swooping curves invite users to sit and be embraced by a level of comfort only he could achieve. The iconic opening of the chair’s back allows for a slight “give” as one sits back. The sculptural silhouette that distinguishes Saarinen design. These chairs have been newly upholstered in a dusty rose pink velvet which is both durable and luxurious. While very minor wear exists on their original chromed steel legs, ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
Eero Saarinen was classically trained in sculpture and architecture. His collaboration with Charles Eames in 1937 led to the creation of this chair. The first three-dimensionally shaped bucket armchair. Featured in nearly all Florence Knoll-designed interiors, the Saarinen Executive Chair has remained one of our most popular designs for nearly 70 years. The design, which is now found in dining rooms as often as it is in offices, transformed the notion of what executive seating could be with its sculptural form and modern finishing. less
