A collection of furniture

THE
EERO SAARINEN COLLECTION
Before there was a CBS Headquarters, the St. Louis Arch,
Dulles International Airport or the innovative TWA terminal at New York's
Kennedy Airport, there was The Kingswood School. It was here, at the tender
young age of 19 that Eero Saarinen first demonstrated his natural gift
for fine design. His furniture, while rooted in a sense of tradition by
its construction, used a variety of color to impart modernity. This subtle
ability to marry tradition and modernity is the early hallmark of his
fledging genius. That the original products are still in use demonstrate
that they are still structurally sound, comfortable and visually fresh
- A testament to the timeless appeal of Saarinen's designs.

THE
MICHAEL GRAVES "KYOTO" COLLECTION
Recognized as one of our
country's leading contemporary American architects, Michael Graves has
continued to distinguish himself with both residential and corporate commission,
most notable being his work for The Walt Disney Company. With the Kyoto
Collection, Mr. Graves began to establish himself with notable interiors
as well. Impressed with simple forms and proportions - a notion that the
Japanese have perfected over the centuries, according to the architect,
Mr. Graves designed this collection in 1990 exclusively for Arkitektura.
The simple, basic forms lend themselves to a multitude of color options
to compliment any decor. |

THE
PAULI BLOMSTED "POST DECO" COLLECTION
This "Post Deco" Collection is yet another example of how architecture
can predict future, popular styles. Although radical at the time Mr. Blomsted
created his furniture, it truly showed a glimpse of the future. Having
emerged as the leading theorist of the 1930's "Funkis" movement, Blomsted
stressed the need to combine and balance all elements of his day - those
of industrial mass-production and the requirements of small residential
environments, while respecting the functional, artistic whole. More than
six decades after their creation and his own passing, the Post Deco Collection
continues to impress us with its clean, timeless grace.
