In his groundbreaking collection of 1957, Eero Saarinen transformed executive seating into a fluid, sculptural form.

This collection was innovative in its use of fibreglass shell construction, a pliable material that flexes in response to body weight.

The chair is available on both leg frame and 5-star base with castors, with and without moulded arms. The executive conference chair Model No. 71 also boasts a pneumatic height control and tilt-lock options.
