Eero Saarinen was a son of a world famous architect and Cranbrook Academy of Art Director Eliel Saarinen and a textile artist Loja Saarinen.
He was involved in designing furniture and fixtures for the Cranbook campus from an early age, and it was no surprise that he went to study sculpture in Paris and later on architecture in Yale University.
In the 1940's he was asked to join company Knoll and over the next 15 years he designed many of the most recognizable Knoll pieces including the Tulip chairs and tables which are for sale here in Liberties.
