Offered by Bellechasse 29 galerie
19th & 20th century decorative arts.
Chairs in carved wood lacquered in ivory.
Armrests and backrests offer curved contours that soften the rectilinear silhouette of the legs. Their body, made up of columns with undulating contours, takes up the principle of the table. This flexibility is accentuated by a delicate frieze sculpture evoking a stylized plant repertoire.
Eliel Saarinen, father of Eero Saarinen, architect of the Finnish Pavilion at the 1900 World's Fair, of the Helsinki Central Station in 1904, is a Finnish architect who continued his career in the United States from 1923. Ray & Charles Eames were his students at the Cranbrook Kingswood School, the equivalent of the Bauhaus in the United States. His importance in the history of 20th century decorative arts led the Musée d'Orsay to reference him.
