Description
Eero Saarinen was a pioneering architect and designer who transformed modern spaces with his innovative designs. His work, characterized by dynamic forms and a modernist sensibility, can be seen in iconic structures such as the Gateway Arch and the TWA terminal at JFK Airport. Saarinen's collaboration with Charles Eames led to the creation of renowned furniture pieces like the "Grasshopper" lounge chair and the "Womb" settee. His association with Knoll also produced the popular "Tulip" chairs and tables. This book explores Saarinen's life and career through rich illustrations, tracing his journey from studies to prestigious projects that brought a new dimension to modernist design. Through its detailed exploration of Saarinen's work, this monograph provides insight into the architect's innovative approach and lasting impact on modern architecture and design.
