Eero Saarinen

Finland, 1910-1961. Eero Saarinen was a Finnish-American architect who explored and experimented with American architectural design in the 1950s. Eero's parents were renowned architects and sculptors. In 1923, the Saarinen family immigrated to America, eventually settling in Michigan. In Paris in 1929, Eero studied sculpting at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière . He began mirroring his father’s footsteps. He attended Yale University for a degree in architecture. From 1925 through 1941, he designed a number of private schools in the US, like Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan in a free, romantic design. Gateway Arch, St. Louis, 1965, located on the banks of the Mississippi River, is among his most famous creations which are now well-known sights in the United States.

To produce an iconic shape, Saarinen developed the exact measurements of this curved and flattened catenary. The arch remains as a memorial to the country's western expansion. Saarinen was troubled by furniture design, specifically the chair that had aesthetic and structural difficulties like many other modern architects. He and designer-architect Charles Eames crafted a molded plywood chair and received a national furniture prize in 1941.

In 1948, Saarinen designed a womb-like chair with a glass fiber shell with foam rubber and textile upholstery. Eero Saarinen furniture for sale has caught the eye of people from all over the world.
