Architect, Eliel Saarinen became well known not only for his buildings, but also for his furniture designs. Born in 1873 in Finland, Saarinen studied architecture and painting at Helsinki University. In 1926, Saarinen began teaching at the Cranbrook Academy where he had some soon-to-be-famous students like Charles and Ray Eames, Florence Knoll and Harry Bertoia. In the mid-1930s Eliel along with his son, Eero Saarinen (known for his "Womb Chair") owned and operated an independent architecture firm. After a long and fruitful career, Eliel Saarinen passed away in 1950.
