The Saarinen® Armchair with Wooden Legs Design Inspiration
After winning the Museum of Modern Art Organic Design Competition with Charles Eames for their groundbreaking experiments with bent plywood, Saarinen was eager to continue exploring the possibilities of a chair that achieved comfort through its shape, rather than relying solely on cushioning. The Saarinen Executive Armchair is the culmination of this pursuit, with its fluid, sculptural form that evokes a sense of effortless elegance and sophistication.
The Saarinen Executive Armchair with Wood Legs features a molded, reinforced polyurethane back shell and a contoured plywood seat form, offering exceptional comfort and support. The solid, steam-bent oak legs, available in five finish colors, add a touch of warmth and natural beauty to the design. With its harmonious blend of organic shapes and modern materials, this chair seamlessly complements any decor, from contemporary offices to residential settings.
