Simplicity and comfort are the first thoughts that come to mind when viewing the Executive Side Chair. A four legged base in black powder-coated metal supports a seat upholstered in premium Knoll Textiles Credo or Velvet fabric; luxurious, comfortable and highly durable. An elegant cut out on the seat back both aids comfort and adds to the chairs contemporary aesthetic, emphasising further its curvaceous nature. The chair works equally as well as a stand-alone occasional chair or in multiples around a dining table. The chair is also available with a maple wood base.
Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was incredibly influential in shaping the postwar American modern design movement. Born in Finland Eero Saarinen was the son of architect Eliel Saarinen, one of the founders of the Cranbrook Academy of Art.
Saarinen is best known for designing the Tulip dining table and tulip chairs as well as the Organic chair which he designed in collaboration with Charles Eames in 1940.
