<SOLD> These mid century modern executive arm chairs with chrome legs by Eero Saarinen for Knoll are well made, heavy, solid armchairs in great vintage condition with complimentary original wool upholstery. But don’t let the word “executive” throw you; these lounge chairs cradle the body in comfort and will add visual appeal to any room in your home.  The houndstooth Saarinen chair with its interesting multi toned textile pattern makes a considerable impact in a room with an otherwise neutral color palette.  The eye catching sculptural design of Eero Saarinen’s Executive Armchair (1950) began more than a decade earlier, when he and Charles Eames submitted several designs to the Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition at the MoMA influencing the future work of both men.  Sold 11/5/2016 for $199/each
