Side Chair

Eero Saarinen (American, born Finland, 1910–1961) · East Greenville · designed 1956

This chair is from Eero Saarinen's Single Pedestal Furniture series, which included an armchair and a variety of tables. Although the seat of the chair is plastic and the base is aluminum, they appear to be one material and were Saarinen's answer to a "slum of legs."
