About Eero Saarinen
Eero Saarinen (August 20, 1910 – September 1, 1961) was a Finnish-American architect and designer known for his contributions to the field of furniture and decorative arts. Born in Kirkkonummi, Finland, Saarinen emigrated to the United States with his family in 1923. He grew up in Michigan and later attended the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he studied sculpture and architecture.
Inlay
Form of decoration which involves cutting small pieces of ivory, precious metals, mother-of-pearl, or wood which are then fitted into carved-out recesses of the same shape on a solid piece of furniture to create a picture or geometric design. Differs from marquetry which uses applied veneers.
Birch
A popular hardwood for furniture and cabinet making. It is light brown to tan in color, has a close, straight grain, and is known for its strength, as well as its flexibility. It can be laminated into a highly flexible, yet strong, plywood.
Maple
A hardwood used for furniture-making and flooring, characterized by a close, light brown grain. Its grain pattern can vary based on variety. Though often straight, it can sometimes include small knots (in the case of birdseye maple) or flame shapes. Some varieties of maple are used to craft fine wooden instruments such as violins and cellos.
Sideboard
A sideboard, also called a buffet, is a long, large piece of dining-room furniture used for displaying china, storage, and for serving food. The body is a storage unit, composed of drawers, sometimes flanked on each side by cabinets with doors.
Veneer
A wood finishing technique in which thin sheet of fine wood is applied to a the surface of a coarser wood or other structural material for decoration. Veneer is used to give furniture pieces a finer, more pleasing appearance. It was first used in ancient Egypt, classical Greece, and Rome, but did not appear again until the 17th Century in the Netherlands.
