Saarinen Executive Collection
Featured in nearly all Florence Knoll-designed interiors, the Saarinen Executive Collection has remained one of the most popular designs for nearly 70 years. The design, which is now found in dining rooms as often as it is in offices, transformed the notion of what executive seating could be with its sculptural form and modern finishing.
The Story Behind the Executive Collection
After completing the Womb Chair, Saarinen returned his focus to task seating, scaling down the concept and form of the womb into arm and armless chairs. Introduced as the 71 and 72 Series, the chairs replaced Florence Knoll’s model 43 chairs as the Planning Unit’s go-to seating solution. The iconic chair, often referred to as “that chair with the hole in the back,” has been a staple of the Knoll portfolio for more than 60 years.
Comfort in the Office
Saarinen was eager to explore the possibilities of a chair that achieved comfort through the shape of its shell, not the depth of its cushioning; as a result, the Saarinen Executive Chair’s soft, organic shape provides a gentle flex to maximize long-term comfort. Its stylish design ensures that your conference room or corporate office space looks modern and current.
