A meteorite's throw from the sci-fi style of the 1960s, in 1955-1956 the Finnish-American Eero Saarinen created the Tulip chair on which André Courrèges's spacewear-clad fashion models would later sit. The Tulip chair won celebrity in popular culture when it was used in the TV sci-fi series Star Trek (1966-1969).Dimensions

Eero Saarinen
Eero Saarinen was born in Kirkkonummi, Finland in 1910. He studied in Paris and at Yale University, after which he joined his father's practice. Eero initially pursued sculpture as his art of choice. After a year in art school, he decided to become an architect instead. Much of his work shows a relation to sculpture. Saarinen developed a remarkable range which depended on color, form and materials. Saarinen showed a marked dependence on innovative structures and sculptural forms, but not at the cost of pragmatic considerations. He easily moved back and forth between the International Style and Expressionism, utilizing a vocabulary of curves and cantilevered forms. Saarinen died in Ann Arbour, Michigan in 1961.
