Organic Chair - Natural Oak & Cream

Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen created the Organic Chair in 1940 as part of their entry for 'Organic Design in Home Furnishings', a competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The small reading chair offers superb comfort, thanks to its comfortably upholstered, biomorphically shaped seat shell.

The Organic Chair is a small and comfortable reading chair, was developed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen in several versions for the 1940 ‘Organic Design in Home Furnishings’ competition organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. With its sculptural shapes, the design was ahead of the times. But due to the absence of suitable manufacturing techniques, the armchair never went into production.

Not until 1950 did it become possible to manufacture and market organically shaped seat shells in large quantities. Featuring measurements optimized for use at desks or tables, the Organic Conference is suitable for use in the dining area or for conference and meeting situations.
