Saarinen Executive Chair, Veneer Back

Which version

This is the Executive Chair with a wood veneer back and wood legs. Knoll also makes versions with tubular legs and other back treatments; check the full model name when comparing listings.

The design

Eero Saarinen’s Executive Chair dates to 1950. Its curved back has an opening above the seat. This version leaves the wood grain visible on the outside.

Where it fits

Knoll lists dining, conference, lounge and work settings for the collection. For a dining table or desk, compare the selected chair’s seat height and overall width with your available space.

Choosing a chair

Use Knoll’s finish options and purchasing service to confirm upholstery, wood finish, dimensions and lead time. The photograph shows several finish combinations rather than a single selected order.
