More quotes by Eero Saarinen
Egyptian pyramids or obelisks – seemed to be the basis of the great memorials that have kept their significance and dignity across time. Neither an obelisk nor a rectangular box nor a dome seemed right on this site or for this purpose. But here, at the edge of the Mississippi River, a great arch did seem right.
Eero Saarinen

Eero Saarinen
I wanted to clear up the slum of legs… I wanted to make the chair all one thing again.
Eero Saarinen
