Knoll Saarinen Executive Arm Chairs in Ultrasuede & Walnut Legs, Set of 4

Creator: Knoll -Eero Saarinen
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
Eero Saarinen’s design career was both wildly iconic yet sadly short-lived. His work in furniture design and architecture was centuries ahead of its time and quite possibly only achievable by Saarinen himself. His furniture work aided his design process for architecture and vice a versa, he understood the human form and how people interact with design in the world. These iconic Saarinen Executive Chairs remain one of his most notable designs, instantly recognizable and widely used to this day.

The Saarinen Executive Arm Chair is perhaps the most versatile dining chair known from the Mid-Century Modern design movement. 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. This chair is in every way a Saarinen sculpture; beautiful at every angle.

These Saarinen Executive Arm Chairs retain in their original Ultrasuede upholstery in the color Ice. Ultrasuede is a premium material which is unparalleled with regard to durability while still luxurious in feel. Each chair has been professionally cleaned bringing these chairs back to near-factory condition. The chairs exhibit very minor wear consistent with age and history but are overall in exceptional condition. We currently have (4) of these chairs in stock as a ready-to-ship set. Please inquire with regard to custom sets as we have plenty of restoration-ready Saarinen Executive Chairs available.
