Publisher's Synopsis
The creator of the ubiquitous Knoll 'Tulip' chairs and tables, Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was one of the 20th century's most prominent space shapers, merging dynamic forms with a modest sensibility across architecture and design. With rich illustrations tracing his life and career, this architecture introduction follows Saarinen from his studies to training to his most prestigious projects, and explores how each of his designs brought a new dimension to the modernist landscape.
