Chair designed by Eero Saarinen in 1957 for Knoll.
It is a chair out of the box, because it lacks the classic four legs that have always characterized chairs and tables.
Eero Saarinen had to improvise himself as a sculptor. His work in the realization of this project was a continuous research to be able to intertwine aesthetic beauty, structural rigidity and functionality. The chair had not to be a classic and simple seat, as there were already hundreds of them, but it had to be an innovation, something different in the fantastic world of seating. And he succeeded: with a single support he created the base for the chair, thus avoiding an excessive overlapping of legs under the surface of the table.
