Eero Saarinen (1910–1961) was a Finnish-American architect and designer known for his bold, sculptural approach to modernism. His work blended functionality with expressive form, often pushing the boundaries of engineering and aesthetics. Saarinen is best known for iconic structures like the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport, and the General Motors Technical Center. In addition to architecture, he made a significant impact in furniture design, collaborating with Knoll to create modern classics like the Tulip Chair and Womb Chair. Saarinen’s work is defined by innovation, sleek curves, and futuristic vision.
