The Saarinen Executive Chair features a molded fiberglass-reinforced shell fully upholstered in high-quality fabric or aniline leather. The seat and backrest are padded with multi-density foam for ergonomic comfort. The base is crafted in tubular steel with a polished chrome or painted finish, resistant to corrosion and daily wear.

Its compact design allows flexibility in conference, dining, or office settings. The smooth surface and contoured edges ensure tactile comfort and visual harmony. Lightweight and durable, the chair embodies Saarinen’s timeless design vision of modern comfort and architectural elegance.
Comfort & Functionality
The chair’s one-piece shell is precision-molded to support the body’s natural contours. Foam padding is applied across the entire seat and backrest before being hand-upholstered. The tubular steel base connects discreetly to the shell, ensuring stability while preserving the chair’s lightweight form. All seams and joins are finished with refined stitching and hidden fasteners for a clean silhouette.

Eero Saarinen
Eero Saarinen (1910–1961) was a Finnish-American architect and industrial designer, celebrated for his bold, sculptural forms and innovative approach to modernism. Son of architect Eliel Saarinen, he studied at Yale before joining the family practice and later establishing his own. Saarinen’s iconic works include the TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, and the Dulles International Airport terminal. In furniture design, he created timeless pieces for Knoll, such as the Tulip Chair and Pedestal Table, which eliminated “the slum of legs.” Saarinen’s visionary designs fused elegance, functionality, and expressive modern form.
