- Description

The Saarinen Style Model 71 Executive Arm Chair was designed and introduced in 1950 by Eero Saarinen as the third chair of his iconic Model 70 Series of chairs. (The other two chairs of this series are the Model 70 Womb Chair and the Model 72 Side Chair.) The Model 71 Executive Arm Chair was created specifically for executive offices of the General Motors Technical School that Saarinen was also designing as lead architect.

Our Saarinen Style Executive Arm Chair is inspired by this Saarinen Model 71 Arm Chair. Our internal shell is made of a molded polymer fiberglass. Next a molded foam is placed over the shell, then upholstered and the legs are attached. Upholstery options include both our classic Italian leathers and our exclusive 100% polyester boucle fabric with stain guard. The Leg options we offer are: solid stainless steel or wood. This item is the Stainless Steel Leg Version.  The stainless steel legs are solid stainless steel bar stock with adjustable foot glides. Please read our Buyers Guide for Saarinen Executive Arm Chair for more details on our Executive Arm chair.
