EERO SAARINEN (Finland, 1910 - United States, 1961) for KNOLL. Set of 8 dining chairs "Model 72". USA, 1970's Upholstered in blue fabric. Metal legs. Measurements: 80 cm x 58 cm x 50 cm. Set of eight "Model 72" dining chairs, a design created by Saarinen for the New York firm Knoll. It is a piece of furniture characterized by its soft lines of the modern movement. The openwork seat and back merge into one piece of curved profiles. In contrast, the tubular legs open like thin, bambi-like spears. Saarinen initially studied sculpture at the Académie de la Grand Chaumière in Paris, and later architecture at Yale University. He then furthered his studies in Europe thanks to a scholarship, and upon his return he took a teaching position at Cranbrook Academy, one of the most important architecture and industrial design schools in the United States. In 1937 he began designing furniture in collaboration with Charles Eames, winning the 1940 prize in the "Organic Design in Home Furnishings" competition organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Later, as an independent designer, Saarinen created furniture designs for Knoll International. Today his creations are present in the most important collections around the world, including the MoMA in New York.
