Designed by: Eero Saarinen
Son of the renowned architect Elien and the talented sculptor Loja Saarinen, he was born in Finland, but is American by adoption. He studied at the Académe de la Grande Cheumiere in Paris and at Yale University in New Haven (Connecticut), graduating in 1934 in architecture. In 1937 he collaborated with Charles Eames, with whom he designed avant-garde furniture for Knoll International that would soon lead him to international success. His search for new technologies in the use of materials, particularly in the molding of fiberglass, has made his pieces immortal. Among his most well-known and globally appreciated works is the Pedestal collection with the Tulip chair and table, for Knoll. He carries out important architectural projects such as the TWA terminal at JFKennedy Airport in New York and the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis, Missouri.
