Slate.com has a great slideshow up of one of my favorite architects/furniture designers, Eero Saarinen. I’m especially partial to him as I inherited two lovely but beat-up womb chairs and one grasshopper chair from my grandparents. Here’s what the grasshopper looks like:
All three of these chairs he designed are incredibly comfortable to sit and read in. I think the grasshopper is my favorite. The slildeshow makes me want to take a trip home to DC to see the exhibit at the National Building Museum. Take a look here.
I’ve sat in that chair!
Hi, Eliza! That is an awesome chair… we have one, too! In teal though.
Nice seeing you at Jasmine’s!
Teal! Love it. Sounds wild.
