Saarinen Executive Arm Chair in Caramel Edelman Leather by Knoll, Swivel Base

Creator: 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, 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 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.

Object Refinery offers Eero Saarinen’s classic chairs in every iteration, restored to perfection. This contemporary version of his Swivel Chair design we’ve chosen to keep all-original due to its condition and gorgeous material. This chair was sourced from Edelman Leather’s facility and is upholstered in their own leather in the color Caramel. The chair also features swivel, tilt, pneumatic lift height adjustment, soft casters, and an all-black base. As this chair is original, minor wear exists consistent with age and history. It is however an excellent example of Eero Saarinen’s design, perfect for an in-home office or workstation, upholstered in premium Edelman Leather.
