Eero Saarinen

Finnish-born architect and product designer Eero Saarinen was notable for his use of many different architectural materials and methods of construction, never settling on a 'signature' style. However, the flowing concrete lines of the TWA Terminal at New York's JFK airport (and to an extent his Tulip chair for Knoll) are what the majority would associate with him. The works mentioned above are very...

Saarinen synchronicity

Just 11 days shy of 11 months ago, in mid-December 2008, I began writing this long poem Lanthanum , which originated in an odd dream I had had a few days before, about the Gateway Arch monument in St. Louis (something I'd never seen, nor thought about previously). On Monday, I finished the first book of Lanthanum (1st of a projected 3 volumes). Today I self-published it via Lulu (see previous post)....

Aline Saarinen: '50s Wonder Woman

Today, except for a few projects like the moribund TWA terminal at JFK, Eero Saarinen is better known for his furniture than his buildings. His "womb" chairs and pedestal tables (designed, he said, to "clear up the slum of legs" in the American home) are still big sellers for Knoll. But does anyone remember that he designed the beautifully soaring Dulles airport? Or CBS's "Black...
