Eero Saarinen Executive Armchair

The Eero Saarinen Executive Armchair, designed in 1950, is one of the most iconic pieces of 20th-century furniture. Originally created to provide a comfortable seat through its fluid, organic form rather than just padding, it remains a staple of modern interior design.

This specific model features a molded fiberglass reinforced plastic shell upholstered in leather with thin metal legs. While Knoll is the exclusive licensed manufacturer in the United States and many international markets, the chair has been widely imitated. Authentic versions are historically produced in the United States and Italy. Ownership of the brand currently resides with MillerKnoll, following the 2021 merger between Herman Miller and Knoll, solidifying its place in a global furniture powerhouse.
