Eero Saarinen for Knoll MCM Tumeric Orange Uphostery Side Chair, a Pair

Creator: Eero Saarinen
Offered by: Atlas Showroom

Description
The pair of Mid-Century Modern side chairs by Eero Saarinen for Knoll Associates encapsulates the essence of sleek, modernist elegance that defined the era. Upholstered in a vibrant turmeric orange fabric, these chairs provide a bold, yet sophisticated, pop of color, enhancing their sculptural form with warmth and personality.
The chairs boast Saarinen's signature organic curves, with a gently sloped, rounded backrest that flows seamlessly into the generously cushioned seat, offering both ergonomic comfort and visual grace. The open lower back design adds an element of airiness, making these chairs a striking, yet unobtrusive, addition to any interior space.

Resting on polished metal legs, the design juxtaposes the softness of the upholstered seats with the clean, minimalist lines of the sleek metal, a hallmark of the mid-century modern style that embraced both form and function. The underside of the chairs bears the original manufacturer's label, underscoring their provenance and authenticity.

From the property of the George M. Irwin Trust in Quincy, Illinois.

Dimensions: 22" W x 20" D x 31.5" H x 18" SH.
