From commercial buildings to fine eateries and casual residences, there’s no limit on where and when you can bring this chair in. So, if you’re searching some inspiration, here are 5 ideas to help you begin:
- In a commercial setting
If you’ve ever visited a large office building, airport, or hotel, you’ll know how some of the transitional spaces in such buildings can be huge and overwhelming of left unfurnished. The Saarinen chair is perfectly versatile and a great choice for making such spaces feel lived-in and livelier. If you want an example, you can just take a look at this image. It’s the TWI terminal designed by Eero Saarinen (and now functioning as a hotel) whose sweeping expanse has been embellished with the classic chairs crafted by the same architect!
- Within restaurants
The Saarinen chair is so visually versatile that it can look amazing in any genre of interior design. In fact, its comfy form and amazing contours would make an excellent addition in a restaurant as well. The plush fabric of its upholstery coupled with the thin metal legs makes a really nice combination. A number of these chairs could be featured opposite to a wall-mount bench with a cluster of tables in-between. Or you could simply go the conventional way and feature them 4-6 chairs for small and large place settings.
- Cozy breakfast nook
The Saarinen chair is the perfect choice for furnishing a small, private, and cozy breakfast nook. It’s stylish and understated. Moreover, its ergonomic form means that you can easily lean back and recline comfortably within its contours to chase away the morning tiredness and enjoy your hearty breakfast. You can also pair it up with an amazing table – preferably one that visually contrasts with its design. The set-up featured in this image is such a classic, but amazing example of this idea!
