Blog assignment #6

This is furniture designed by architects, but for some reason my pictures would not upload so there is a url link for each of my pictures so hopefully the links work! :)

My first piece of furniture is called the tulip chair by architect Eero Saarinen in 1946. It is so famous, it is perhaps as well known as the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Saarinen was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and was a Finnish American architect and product designer in the 20th century.

My second piece of furniture is called the Paimio armchair by Alvar Aalto, in 1931. 

Aalto's intriguing arm chair can be found in numerous museums including the Museum of Modern Art.

My third piece of furniture is by Marcel Breuer called the Wassily chair. It was made in 1926 and was the first bent-chrome chair the world had ever seen!
