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.

The career of the world-famous architect and designer

Saarinen comes from Kirkkonummi, Finland. He was born in 1910 as the son of the famous architect Eliel Gottlieb Saarinen. In 1923, the family emigrated to the US. Once in the US, Eero Saarinen studied sculpture, furniture design and architect. He then worked in his father’s architecture firm, which he took over after his dad passed away. In 1941 together with his friend Charles Eames, he won the “Organic Design in Home Furnishings” competition. The tables, the cupboard expansion system and the gently curved plywood shell armchair by the two designers won awards. In the following years, he worked with Knoll International a great deal. His most famous designs include:

  • the “Grasshopper” armchair
  • Saarinen Collection: Office furniture series
  • Chair no. 151 or “Tulip chair”
  • Chair no. 173 or “Tulip table”
