Saarinen Executive Leather Armchair - Wood Legs

Eero Saarinen's innovative designs in the 1930s, particularly his organically-shaped plywood chairs, made a lasting impact. These chairs gained recognition by winning the MoMA-sponsored 1940 Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition. Saarinen's exploration led him to envision a chair that would deliver remarkable comfort directly from its shell rather than solely relying on additional upholstery. The outcome of this vision was the luxurious and sculptural Executive Side Chair and its matching counterpart, the Executive Armchair. Notably, this design achieved prestigious accolades such as the 1969 Museum of Modern Art Award and the West Germany Federal Award for Industrial Design, solidifying its status as an enduring icon of innovative furniture design.
