About the Item

Noted Finnish-born architect Eliel Saarinen designed Contempora in 1927 for "The Architect and the Industrial Arts," the Metropolitan Museum of Art's eleventh exhibition of contemporary American design. The museum requested that all furnishings and accessories for a room be included, stipulating that no object could be in current production. For the exhibit, Saarinen created a dining room complete with four new patterns of flatware, including "Contempora." The "Contempora" flatware prototype was made by Dominick & Haff and featured a place setting in an Art Deco Chrysler Building skyscraper inspired design.
