Knoll - knoll executive armless chair by eero saarinen

, unica home
knoll executive armless chair designed by eero saarinen in 1957.

winner of the MoMA federal award for industrial design, west germany 1969. 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. this chair is available with metal or wood legs, or a swivel base. the armless chair with a plastic back is a recent reintroduction and ideal for café applications. another version of this chair is available with arms (see link below).

eero saarinen was classically trained in sculpture and architecture. his collaboration with charles eames in 1937 led to the creation of the organic armchair, the first three-dimensionally shaped bucket armchair. saarinen continued to develop this theme in following years with designs that included the tulip, womb and grasshopper chairs, all for knoll.
