You got Cranbrook in my Eero Saarinen.
You got Eero Saarinen in my Cranbrook.
Two great tastes that taste great together!
Eero Saarinen's influence on post-World War II design and architecture is an unmistakable part of the modern American psyche, reflecting a time of ambition and innovation.
From the futuristic vaults of the TWA Terminal at JFK Airport to Warren's GM Tech Center to the eponymous tulip chair (One leg! What a concept!) to the 630-foot tall Gateway Arch in St. Louis, this Cranbrook alumni helped shape our country's national image with his trail-blazing ideas and vision.
A national traveling exhibit of Eero Saarinen's work made its North American debut at the Cranbrook Art Museum in mid-November and metromode's Tom Hendrickson was there. Click on the YouTube video below to catch the tour then check out last week's article,
