Knoll Eero Saarinen Craigslist Score

It started with a call to boyfriend saying, "what are you doing right this instant. You have to go pick up this Craigslist chair. Don't ask questions, just go."

12 seconds and $20 later, I had a confused boyfriend wondering why I wanted this ugly ass heavy chair. 

He doesn't necessarily see the beauty I see in a Knoll Eero Saarinen Armless Executive Chair.


Not sure about its authenticity. What it doesn't have is a Knoll tag on the bottom, but it does have a "Property of IBM" sticker on it.  Eero Saarinen designed IBM headquarters which was supplied with Saarinen furnishing. That's enough for me to feel like I hit the CL jackpot.

I love the fauxdenza. Made By Girl just blogged about this exact thing last week. Awesome score and I say that sometimes it's better not to dig too hard. Enjoy the steal!
