Funky Saarinen Chairs
The collection of artworks features drawings of chairs designed by the legendary Finnish Architect Eero Saarinen. Various illustration styles and materials have been used to capture the different textures and compositions of these iconic pieces of furniture. Each piece in the collection focuses on a single aspect of the design - it’s softness or rigidity for exmaple.
The study of chairs is an important aspect of understanding architectural styles, as the design of a chair often reflects the broader aesthetic and functional priorities of the architect. Eero Saarinen’s chairs, with their innovative forms and materials, are a testament to the Finnish architect’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of modern design.
These chairs were spotted in Ezra Stiles College at Yale University,
