Eero Saarinen Executive Armchair - Wood Base
The Saarinen No. 71 Chair, designed in 1948 by Eero Saarinen, is a hallmark of modernist furniture design. Featuring a seamless, sculptural form, the chair is distinguished by its fully upholstered shell, which gracefully wraps around the body to provide both visual elegance and ergonomic support. The open back and gentle curves create a sense of lightness, making it equally suitable for dining rooms, meeting spaces, or contemporary living areas.
Unlike its sibling, the No. 72, the No. 71 Chair has armless construction, offering a cleaner silhouette and greater flexibility in arrangement. Its upholstered seat and back are typically mounted on either metal or wooden legs, allowing for a variety of customizations to suit both residential and commercial settings. The chair exemplifies Saarinen’s pursuit of purity in design and his ability to combine form and function in ways that remain influential decades later.
Made in Italy.
