Exhibit Your Very Own Piece Of Functional, Timeless Space-Age Design With A Tulip Chair

Taken into production by Knoll in 1956, the Tulip chair and its family range became Eero Saarinen’s most famous pieces. New, advanced industrial design techniques influenced the post-war community.

Saarinen, inspired by organic lines and architecture could now produce furniture that was new and futuristic.

He aimed to improve how we interact with furniture in the home. For example at the dining table, the mass of chair and table legs was a ‘problem’ Saarinen wanted to solve. So if you too prefer a more minimal and modern look in your home, furniture by Eero Saarinen can be yours.

Futuristic aesthetics had been created by producing streamlined, pedestal based furniture the space age had arrived! They were so advanced for their time; they look as if they had been designed and produced in the 1960’s. So because of their ‘out of this world’ space age curves, the Tulip Chairs was used on the original Star Trek series.

This chair is comfortable, versatile and can be purchased with a fixed or swivel base, which can be great for a modern home office.

It’s also available with a choice of base (white, black and platinum) and you can choose to have it with or without arms. The removable upholstered cushion is available in leather or other textiles. The mail shell of the chair is made of fibreglass with a plastic bonded finish.

So why not team a small collection of these chairs with a matching pedestal dining table? This ensemble works great if you’re looking for practical furniture for small spaces. The glossy, streamlined pedestal bases allow light to bounce and the eye to wonder without the obstruction of chair and table legs.

In a space small or large, individually or matched with the table, the Tulip Chair will be an asset to your interior you’ll cherish for years to come!
