Eero Saarinen
Born to world famous parents, architect and Cranbrook Academy of Art director
Eliel Saarinen and textile artist Loja Saarinen, Eero Saarinen was surrounded by
design his whole life. A schoolmate and great friend of Florence Schust, it was
an obvious choice for her to invite Eero to design for Knoll when she joined the
company in the 1940s. His impact on Knoll and the discipline of furniture design
would be hard to overstate.
