Early ‘Grasshopper’ Chair by Eero Saarinen for Knoll Associates

Eero Saarinen’s iconic ‘Grasshopper’ chair designed for Knoll Associates. Early example (circa late 1940s), as indicated by the early ‘Knoll Associates’ decal. Composed of bentwood arms / legs in laminated birch plywood which support the upholstered seat / back. Birch is in original condition, and shows only slight wear (minor nicks / light general wear). Seat has been reupholstered in a light grey tweed upholstery and foam has been replaced.
Incredible lines and curvaceous form, this lounge chair is a conversation piece that shows well from all angles.
