## Commentary

Around 1907, Saarinen developed a new, unmistakable style of furniture design; as in his architecture, his forms became sharper in focus and more angled. The chair for Hannes Saarinen was made by N. Boman&#39;s joinery workshop, Kuopio. The upholstery is imitation leather with a snakeskin pattern.
