The "Grasshopper" Lounge Chair is a legendary design by Eero Saarinen from 1946. In his search for ergonomic and casual forms, he developed this seating sculpture, reminiscent of a grasshopper poised to leap. The legs and armrests are each crafted from an S-shaped piece of molded plywood. The construction of the chair ensures comfort and a pleasant seating posture.
