这个无处不在的“郁金香”椅子和桌子的创造者，Eero Saarinen（1910-1961）是20世纪最杰出的空间塑造者之一，将动态的形式与现代主义的建筑和设计融合在一起。

Saarinen**的成就是华盛顿特区的杜勒斯国际机场，纽约肯尼迪机场的雕塑和流体TWA航站楼，以及密苏里州圣路易斯市的630英尺（192米）高拱门，每一个都定义了战后美国的结构。其许多结构设计中都有悬链曲线。在与Knoll的长期交往中，Saarinen的其他**家具作品包括“蚱蜢”躺椅和“子宫”。Saarinen嫁给了**的艺术和建筑评论家Aline Bernstein Saarinen，Saarinen也与Charles Eames合作，并与Charles Eames设计了他的**张获奖椅子。

书中通过丰富的插图来追溯Saarinen的生活和事业，这篇建筑介绍跟随萨里宁从他的研究到他最负盛名的项目的训练，并探索他的每一个设计如何为现代主义景观带来新的维度。

The creator of the ubiquitous Knoll "Tulip" chairs and tables, Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was one of the 20th century's most prominent space shapers, merging dynamic forms with a modernist sensibility across architecture and design.

Among Saarinen's greatest accomplishments are Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport, the very sculptural and fluid TWA terminal at JFK Airport in New York, and the 630 ft. (192 m) high Gateway Arch of St. Louis, Missouri, each of them defining structures of postwar America. Catenary curves were present in many of his structural designs. During his long association with Knoll, Saarinen's other famous furniture pieces included the "Grasshopper" lounge chair and the "Womb" settee. Married to Aline Bernstein Saarinen, a well-known critic of art and architecture, Saarinen also collaborated with Charles Eames, with whom he designed his first prize-winning chair.

With rich illustration tracing his life and career, this architecture introduction follows Saarinen from his studies to training to his most prestigious projects, and explores how each of his designs brought a new dimension to the modernist landscape.
