Eliel Saarinen, famed architect and father of Eero Saarinen, once said, “Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context – a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.” Today, with that strategy in mind, we present five very different modern dining chairs, each designed with a larger context in mind and thereby able to complement a host of residential and commercial environments.
