Seller's Notes:Beautiful pair of Eero Saarinen Executive Armchairs for Knoll, one of the most recognizable and enduring designs of the mid-century modern era. Designed by Eero Saarinen for Knoll in 1950, these chairs feature Saarinen's distinctive sculptural form, with a gracefully curved wraparound back and arms, open lower back, generous upholstered seat and slender tubular steel legs. I purchased the chairs from a mid-century modern furniture dealer and subsequently had them professionally reupholstered in a rich red/coral fabric. They have been very well cared for and are in excellent overall condition. The chairs are extremely comfortable and look equally appropriate in a living room, executive office, library, bedroom or sitting area. Their relatively compact footprint also makes them an excellent pair of occasional or conversation chairs.
