Grasshopper Chair And Ottoman

I love the form of this classic lounge chair.  With its deep bending, bent maple frame, it definitely looks like the it is poised to leap away at any moment.  The reclining angle of this chair is extremely comfortable and its slender wood frame gives at a very delicate look.  This classic lounge chair was designed in 1946 by famed architect and designer Eero Saarinen, the first in a series of sculptural chairs designed for Knoll, this chair was very popular through the 1940s and 1950s and produced until 1965.
