Details and Measures
Design
The Saarinen Conference Chair was born from Eero Saarinen's research into a new concept of comfort: a chair in which the shape of the shell, rather than simply the thickness of the padding, naturally supports the body. The profile is fluid and continuous. The backrest gently curves around the user, while the seat follows a soft geometry that accompanies posture without imposing an excessively rigid position.
Comfort and Organic Form
The backrest shell is made of molded and reinforced polyurethane, while the seat uses a curved plywood frame. This combination creates a continuous and slightly flexible shape, designed to follow the body's natural changes in posture. The padding complements the geometry of the chair without altering its slender silhouette. The backrest delicately envelops the upper body, while the shape of the seat distributes balanced support.
From the conference room to the dining area
One of the most interesting aspects of the Saarinen Conference Chair is its ability to transcend its professional origins. Around a meeting table, the padded shape introduces comfort and a more welcoming presence than traditional task chairs. In an executive office, it combines ergonomics and representative style. In the dining room, the same silhouette becomes a refined dining chair. The versions with wooden legs naturally interact with marble or fine wood tables, while the metal bases introduce a more graphic and contemporary character.
