Artist Review: Eero Saarinen
Saarinen was a famous
Finnish
American
architect and industrial designer. He is known for varying his style according to the demands of the project he is working on.
He worked with the
Eames
couple in his lifetime.
He specialized in
the use of
glass fiber
materials
and
molded
feet,
to create a
soft and simple
shape. His works include, the
Womb Chair, the
Tulip Chair,
and
the
Organic
Armchair, which he collaborated with the Eames couple. I like the armless tulip chair because it sets new standard to modern design. It's easy, simple, and looks like it could fit in any indoor environment.
