Eero Saarinen
Eero Saarinen was born in Helsinki in 1923. He was the son of the renowned Finnish architect and first President of the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Eliel Saarinen. He belonged to the genre of European designers who propagated modern classicism through their work. When he was thirteen years of age, they moved to the US in 1923. He grew up within the community of the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan, where his father taught. Saarinen undertook courses in sculpture and furniture design. He earned a scholarship at the Yale University and traveled to Europe (1934/35). On his return, he toured Europe and North Africa for a year and spent another year back in Finland, after which he returned to Cranbrook to work for his father and teach at the Cranbrook Academy of Art academy. He learnt sculpture at the Académie de la Grande Chaumiére in Paris (1929/30), and later graduated in architecture at the Yale University in New Haven Connecticut in 1934. Saarinen had a close relationship with fellow students Charles and Ray Eames, and became good friends with Florence (Schust) Knoll.
In 1937, he drew a partnership with Charles Eames that turned into a successful series of furniture designs. During this period, his designs became immensely popular and he started producing furniture for Knoll International. His architectural career is marked by some great projects like the TWA terminal at the John F Kennedy Airport in New York, the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan.
After his father’s death in 1950, Saarinen founded his own office, “Eero Saarinen and Associates”. Starting with his collaborations with Eames on “Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition in 1940, for which they received first prize, his modern designs effortlessly moved back and forth between the International style and expressionism, utilizing a vocabulary of curves and cantilevered forms. Saarinen worked for Knoll Furniture Company, founded by family friends Florence (Schust) Knoll and her husband Hans Knoll. During his long modern furniture design career with Knoll, he created some valuable pieces of furniture that include the “Grasshopper” lounge chair and ottoman (1946)(not so popular), the “Womb” chair and ottoman (1948)(tulip collection), the “Womb” settee (1950), side and arm chairs (1948-1950), and his most famous “Tulip” or “Pedestal” group (1956), which featured side and arm chairs, dining, coffee and side tables, as well as a stool.
From the Pedestal collection in dining, the round table, the side table and the oval dining table were a hit. The marble–topped dining tables are roomy and cozy for intimate dining. Eero Saarinen’s ability to blend color, form and materials was remarkable. The pedestal table from his pedestal collection is a reflection of this ability in this timeless classic. Eero Saarinen’s pedestal tables solve a particular design problem: “The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world. I wanted to clear up the slum of legs.” I saw some of these designs on spacify. Check up…’ Hmmm…..
