Finnish Legend To Remember
This Finnish designer is one of the pioneering modern architects, and one of my fave product and furniture designers. His home furniture designs struck cord with furniture buffs of the times, not to mention his popular association with Knoll International. His furniture design career commenced by way of successful design collaboration with Charles Eames, their “Organic Design in Home Furnishings winning a competition in 1940, featured at the Museum of Modern Art in NY.
Saarinen’s modern designs effortlessly moved back and forth between the International style and expressionism, utilizing a vocabulary of curves and cantilevered forms. Known as the master of neo-expressionism, (a phenomenon that evolved from the work of visionary artists and designers in Germany, and other European countries during the first decades of the twentieth century), his most popular buildings include the TWA terminal at the John F Kennedy Airport in New York and the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan.
furniture designer, he was admired for his original sculpted designs. The Tulip chair is a statement by itself; and others like the Pedestal dining tables and neo-classic coffee tables that offer an insight into his innovative abilities. Thinking original is always difficult, and I love the guy for his great vision and his passion for design. His love for curves and sculpted forms can be seen his Ped table designs—the Oval, Side table and the Round table.
With the Oval dining table, the surprise element remains. I mean look at it, it could well have been designed now, here, in these times. Besides the Tulip chair, this furniture design was a part of his research of “organic furniture”, which marked the epitome of Saarinen’s career, important icons of modern classic furniture. Eero Saarinen’s had the unique ability to merge color, form and material in a unique shape.
The Pedestal side table is remarkable. In his words, “The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world. I wanted to clear up the slum of legs.” Modern classics redefined, you can find these tables on Spacify..:)
Another Pedestal dining beauty with a round top is a holistic design—the round. This conic expression of modernism has been included in museum collections around the world. The corresponding pedestal table and other furniture design has been brought forth…well this stuff is truly historic, and can’t be tagged a price, but they do come at a price…..don’t they!
Eero Saarinen, Cranbrook
