Eero Saarinen - The Woods Gallery

Eero Saarinen

Eero Saarinen, American architect and designer of Finnish origin, has been immersed in design and architecture since his early childhood. Both of his parents were recognized and renowned in their work: his father Eliel was an architect and the director of the Cranbrook Academy of Art while his mother Loja was a textile designer. Arriving in the United States as a teenager, then studying design and architecture at Yale, Eero Saarinen knew how to innovate after graduating and became the leader of the second generation of modernists in the field of architecture and design. This title was given to him following the observation of his works having shapes and silhouettes never seen and created before. He pushed the limits of certain materials in order to create unique pieces consistent with his sense of personal aesthetics. This emancipation of design codes was possible following the contact that Eero Saarinen had with many designers and architects such as Florence Knoll and Charles and Ray Eames.
