Michael Craig Martin in 2019 put Mies Van Der Rohe
and Eero Saarinen’s chair designs next to each other as a
critique on the connections and influences of Modernism as
seen in Figure 1. It is also a statement on the collaborations
of Saarinen, that catalyzed his diversity and explorations.
Saarinen’s encounter with Charles Eames in 1940, led to their
Organic Chair design that won first prize in the Organic
Design Competition conducted by MOMA as seen in Figure
2. After joining Knoll Company (Figure 3), Eero designed the
most celebrated Tulip Chair and a series of 70 chair designs.
