Artist: Eero Saarinen
???? Set of 6 “Conference” armchairs " Armchairs – Eero Saarinen for Knoll International – 1970s
An exceptional set of six “Conference” armchairs designed by Eero Saarinen (1910–1961) for Knoll International, dating from the 1970s. These armchairs, emblematic of American modernist design, combine a sculptural, enveloping silhouette with elegant black faux leather upholstery and a chrome-plated metal base. This set is particularly remarkable for its uniformity, excellent condition, and provenance.
???? An iconic design by Eero Saarinen: created in the spirit of organic design so dear to the famous Finnish-American architect and designer, the “Conference” armchair is distinguished by its deeply curved backrest, extended by generous and harmoniously designed armrests. Its enveloping shape naturally hugs the body, while the opening between the backrest and the seat lends it a remarkable visual lightness. The thick, padded seat and the four slightly flared chrome-plated tubular legs complete this elegant and timeless silhouette.
✨ Exceptional condition for armchairs over fifty years old. All six pieces are remarkably uniform, both in terms of upholstery and structure. The original black faux leather has retained its beautiful appearance and depth, with only a few discreet signs of wear. Very small micro-tears have been carefully repaired without compromising the chairs’ overall aesthetic. The chrome legs are also very well preserved, with slight signs of aging consistent with their age.
????️ Remarkable comfort and a bold, sculptural presence: thanks to their generously padded seats, enveloping backrests, and integrated armrests, these armchairs offer exceptional comfort. They will naturally find their place around a large dining table, in an executive office, a conference room, a library, or a contemporary interior. Their understated elegance also allows them to be paired with antique, industrial, or mid-century furniture.
????️ A historic provenance in Bordeaux: these six armchairs come from the boardroom of the Maison du Paysan in Bordeaux, where they had been in place since the 1970s. Preserved together for several decades in this institutional setting, they bear witness to the importance placed on designer furniture in the representative and decision-making spaces of that era. Their shared origin lends this set additional appeal, both decorative and heritage-related.
???? Dimensions of each armchair: width 70 cm × depth 60 cm × total height 80 cm. Seat: width 48 cm × depth 50 cm × height 46 cm.
