Modern Images: The Uterus Seat

The contemporary image of this week is the Uterus Chair, created by by Eero Saarinen for Knoll in 1948. Many contemporary icons appeared from camaraderie and the cooperation between Florence and Eero Knoll. For people who just know his title as a popular crossword puzzle solution, Eero was an architect as well as the son of the architect Eliel Saarinen (still another popular crossword solution).
