Saarinen Executive Chair
by Knoll
Knoll® Saarinen Executive Chair
In his groundbreaking collection of 1957, Eero Saarinen transformed executive seating into a fluid, sculptural form. Recognizing the importance of user comfort, Saarinen became the first to construct a chair shell from fiberglass, a pliable material that flexes in response to body weight. The chair is available with or without arms, and advanced or basic adjustments.

Knoll History
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe once said, "Create form out of the nature of our tasks with the methods of our time."
Since their founding in 1938, Knoll has had a commitment to accessible, thoughtful design coupled with leading edge technology. This has resulted in a portfolio of ergonomic products, including office seating, monitors and keyboard supports, lighting and adjustable work tables. These ergonomic products form the building blocks to facilitate productivity and comfort with equal effect.
Recognized as a design leader worldwide, Knoll has design integrity as their guiding principle. They offer insight into the way business is changing and into what’s possible—now and for the future and believe good design is good business. Their commitment to modern design has yielded furniture products and textiles designed to provide enduring value and help clients shape their workspaces with imagination and vision. Ergonomic design pioneers Don Chadwick (of Herman Miller Aeron fame) and Carl Magnusson, plus contemporary innovators, Formway Design, create the advanced seating, including Life, Chadwick, RPM, and Generation for Knoll.
At Knoll, they watch how the modern office and home office is evolving and make furniture that responds and adapts to changing needs. They're thinking about the emergence of a new workplace climate, the meaning of new workplace planning models and how ecological principles inform their product designs.
