Eero Saarinen - Order classic furniture from the pioneer of organic design
Saarinen used innovative technologies, his creativity and his expertise to design his furniture. The result revolutionized the furniture industry of his time and today excites fans of designer furniture. Because of his training in sculpture, Eero Saarinen modelled chairs and tables like sculptures. They are developed with a view to ergonomic comfort and have organic shapes. In our online shop, you can find chairs, tables and other Eero Saarinen furniture, which the designer developed for Knoll International and Vitra.
Design classics for private and commercial areas
The Eero Saarinen tables and chairs are perfect for a designer home or representative business premises. They impress with simple restraint and their perfect look. Special highlights are the Eero Saarinen Tulip table and the Tulip chair and stool. They are characterised by a wide, circular base in the shape of a stylised tulip. Saarinen designed these pieces of furniture in the 1950s. Today they are among the most popular design classics. This also includes the comfortable armchair with a shell of upholstered fibreglass and tubular steel feet. The Eero Saarinen Womb Chair originated out of the desire for a comfortable seating option. The designer's sister wanted to snuggle into these chairs and feel cosy, like in a mother's lap. Choose this relaxing armchair in our online shop and create a feel-good corner in your home.
